William Clarence “Billy” Eckstine (vocalist / bandleader) was born on July 8, 1914 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvannia and passed away on March 8, 1993 in Pittsburg at the age of 78.
Eckstine’s big band was commercially unsuccessful but became legendary in jazz history for its pioneering musical ambition and its stellar cast of sidemen. Eckstine learned both trumpet and trombone but his rich, mellow baritone voice was his route to fame and popular success.
