Lem Winchester (March 19, 1928 - January 13, 1961) was an American jazz vibraphone player. Formerly a police officer, Winchester pursued music as a hobby in Wilmington, Delaware.〔(Chowning, John, George Lindamood, David Arnold. “Remembering Lem Winchester.” Current Research in Jazz 2, (2010). ), accessed 09 October 2014〕 He turned to music full-time after an appearance at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival.〔Yannow, Scott. (Lem Winchester Biography ) from Allmusic.com], accessed 09 October 2014〕 He was soon working with some of the top names in jazz, making his debut recording with pianist Ramsey Lewis. Winchester recorded a handful of albums as a leader,〔(Lem Winchester discography )〕 and made sideman appearances with the likes of saxophonist Oliver Nelson, and organists Jack McDuff and Shirley Scott. Most of his recordings were with Prestige Records. Critic Scott Yanow has suggested that while Winchester's playing was strongly influenced by Milt Jackson, he "did not stick around long enough to carve out his own original voice" on the vibraphone.〔http://www.allmusic.com/album/another-opus-mw0000617328〕 Winchester's career was cut short when he died in a handgun accident, aged 32.〔 ==Discography== :As leader *1958: Lem Winchester and the Ramsey Lewis Trio, '' Perform A Tribute To Clifford Brown'' (Argo Records) *1959: Lem Winchester and Benny Golson - ''Winchester Special'' (New Jazz Records) *1960: ''Lem's Beat'' (Prestige Records) *1960: ''Another Opus'' (Prestige Records) :As sideman *1960: Jack McDuff, ''Tough 'Duff'' (Prestige) *1960: Oliver Nelson, ''Taking Care of Business'' (New Jazz), ''Nocturne'' (Moodsville) *1961: Johnny "Hammond" Smith, ''Gettin' the Message'' (Prestige Records) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lem Winchester」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
