Born October 1st, 1940, Henry Franklin is a native of Los Angeles whose earliest memories of jazz were through his father, Sammy Franklin, a renowned trumpeter and bandleader.
As a child, Henry was encouraged to take music seriously and with that he understood its emotional power. Though he would take to the clarinet, piano and tap dancing early, it wasn't until the day he picked up the bass that music began to define him. So began Henry's life-long love affair with music.
As a veteran whose wide-ranging experiences travel the jazz spectrum from Hugh Masekela to Willie Bobo to Archie Shepp, Franklin knows what it takes to keep the flame alive. He was musical director for an outstanding little nightclub in Ventura, California for many years, where he personally lit that torch and maintained its rich glow. With this straight-ahead program, he reminds us that the best always wins; and will do so for eternity.
