Don Joham: In Memoriam

I remember Don as a young fresh talent with a way about him that made you think he may have had another life.

Don left us December 15, 2004.

His daughter Tracey has posted here on All About Jazz looking for information on him and so everyone please go to your '50s '60s and '70s record collections and see if you might find any with Don Joham on them as a drummer.

I know he worked with

Art Pepper

saxophone, alto
1925 - 1982

" data-original-title="" title="">Art Pepper and

Bud Shank

saxophone
1926 - 2009

" data-original-title="" title="">Bud Shank and played the Lighthouse in the '50s and maybe the '60s, so it is the West Coast sound he is more likely to be featured in.

Don was the victim of a crime in the '70s Tracey tells me, that left him with health problems and that is the reason he just vanished from the jazz scene. I almost knew it had to be something that devastating to remove him from the jazz world, as jazz was his passion, and he was great. A wonderful, talented, jazz drummer.

A nicer man you will never know, and he will always have a place in my heart.

God speed Don, and my best wishes and condolences to your family
