Mariel Bildsten's path through Jazz points to personal connections with classic albums. Are any of these albums on your list of five albums that made you fall in love with Jazz music?

🟡 J.J. Johnson – The Eminent Jay Jay Johnson, Volume 1 & Volume 2
"My first love. I listened to these every day when I was 13 from a burned CD my trombone teacher made for me."

🟡 Mary Lou Williams - Zodiac Suite
"Sophisticated, complex, and beautiful! Each piece is a musical portrait, composed by Williams as a dedication to fellow musicians."

🟡 Duke Pearson - Prairie Dog
"This album is cinematic, cohesive, patient, and such a vibe."

🟡 Abbey Lincoln - It’s Magic
"Such a gorgeous album. Lincoln's voice and storytelling are so clear and honest; she soars over the band. I love Benny Golson's arrangements on this."

🟡 Ahmad Jamal - Ahmad Jamal's Alhambra (Live)
"This trio is perfect!"

There's a reason legendary HBCU bands like the FAMU's Marching "100" trust King. The sound they bring to the field is unlike anything else.

Jiggs Whigham has had a legendary career with King trombones. For Jazz Appreciation Month, we've asked him about the influences on his performance and composing career!

🟡 Urbie Green
“Urbie was one of my heroes - and still is. His magnificent sound and style (similar to Perry Como and other great singers) introduced a new concept in trombone playing! Strangely enough, his concept and superb playing have been sorely underrated by some."

🟡 J.J. Johnson
“Of course, J.J. Johnson. Again, his concept and ‘honest’ sound helped form my own musical conception.”

🟡 Tommy Dorsey
“Tommy Dorsey was one of the greats. Impeccable phrasing and responsible for influencing generations of great trombonists - and big bands.”

🟡 Béla Bartók - Igor Stravinsky - Sergei Prokofiev
“The music of Bartók, Stravinsky, Prokofiev... from his First Symphony, through the popular ‘Peter and the Wolf’ and the Third Piano Concerto…all wonderful!!!”

🟡 Johann Sebastian Bach
“ANYTHING composed by J.S. Bach. To date, the very greatest of them all! Hard to think that Bach fell out of favor the last twenty years of his life!?!?!? Thankfully rediscovered by another great - Mendelssohn.”

"𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴."

That’s the standard Nick Finzer sets for his jazz trombone students at the University of North Texas. As we celebrate Music In Our Schools Month®, his message is a reminder that the lessons students learn in music can last a lifetime.

Before most industries had women in executive leadership, King did.

In 1941, Edna White became President of the H.N. White Company, the first female executive in the history of the band instrument industry. With the world at war and the future uncertain, she held firm to one belief: offer superior quality, second to none.

Four years later, her daughter Kay joined her as Vice President. Together, they led King through one of the most challenging moments in American history and emerged stronger.

King is iconic by decree. And part of that crown belongs to them.
