Truth in Jazz

Meet Dean Ferguson, Trombone

Jul 22

Hometown: Wakarusa; Moved to Los Angeles, CA.

Education: BA & BM: Undergraduate work was at Northrop Institute of Technology in LA, and during that time I freelanced some in LA, including a national hookup radio program from Manhattan Beach, CA.

Playing Experience: Following HS, I traveled 3 years with the Spurrlows. Following undergrad, I went back on the road another year, now sponsored by Chrysler Corp doing approximately 730 shows in 9 months, for nearly 1 million people.

Career Highlights: My personal highlight probably is playing the Seattle Worlds Fair in 1962. I have played in the Elkhart Municipal Band 27 years as well.
