Joel Kaye


Main image

Reed Player, composer, band leader, conductor.
Unusually versatile musician (he divides his attention between 14 instruments) who played two years with Stan Kenton (1961‐63) and then became closely associated with Johnny Richards, one of Kenton's principal arrangers, organized the New York Neophonic Orchestra and became its conductor.
