Donie Collins

According to the sleeve notes on [r22357690], It was always his ambition to lead a big band. Since the day way back that he blew his first faltering notes on the trumpet, he's been heading in this direction ever since. In the process, he played and mastered baritone, tenor and alto saxophones, trumpet, trombone, clarinet, piano and drums. This talented multi-instrumentalist fronted the band he always wanted, playing a varied programme spiced with the sounds of music.
