==Personal life==
Paul Bacon was born December 25, 1923, in Ossining, New York. Bacon's family lived in many places in the New York City area while he was growing up due to economic hardships caused by the Great Depression. The family settled in Newark, New Jersey in 1939, where Bacon graduated from Newark Arts High School in 1940.〔Staff. ("Interview: Paul Bacon (Part 1)" ), Jazzwax.com, July 13, 2010. Accessed August 9, 2012.〕 Bacon's introduction to jazz was through the radio. "My brother and I realized we were jazz fans after hearing Benny Goodman on the Camel Caravan show in 1935,"〔 Bacon said. In Newark they were members of a "hot club," a group of teens who listened to and talked about jazz.〔Sordoni Art Gallery, Wilkes University. (1999).

After high school, Bacon took a design job with Scheck Advertising, a small ad agency in Newark. He was drafted in 1943 and joined the Marine Corps. With the Marines he was sent to Guadalcanal, Guam, and China, never seeing any action.〔
He was discharged in 1946 and returned to Union Beach, New Jersey, where his family had moved. Shortly afterward he moved to New York City. He later married his roommate's cousin, Maxine Shirey, a dancer in Charles Weidman's house company for the City Center Opera in New York.〔 Bacon died on June 8, 2015, aged 91, in Beacon, New York .〔http://www.jazzwax.com/2015/06/paul-bacon-1923-2015.html〕
