Kokomo - What's in a Name? (Havering On)

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 08:20:00 GMT

Kokomo was the pseudonym for classically trained pianist Jimmy Wisner (b.8.12.31 Philadelphia). The graduate of Temple University had formed a jazz trio in 1959 backing Mel Torme amongst others. He had the idea to ‘rock the classics’ not original, but as often happened with these records it was a one off idea that worked.
