Spivak (1907-1982) was an American trumpeter and band leader
of the big band era. He did his apprenticeship playing in the orchestras of the
Doresy brothers, Ben Pollack, Jack Teagarden and others during the 1920s and
1930s, as well as a radio and studio musician with Glenn Miller and other band
leaders. After a false start in 1939, Spivak took over the Bill Downer's band
in 1940, and it remained successful until 1959. He helmed a straight dance
band, despite his jazz roots. Spivak's main influence is from the number of
influential musicians that he had as sidemen, including drummer Davey Rough,
bassist Jimmy Middleton, trumpeter les Elgart, trombonist Nelson Riddle and
singers Garry Stevens, June Hutton, Tommy Mercer, Jimmy Saunders and Irene Dave.
Spivak continued to lead bands in Florida from 1959 to 1963, when illness
forced a temporary retirement, and then another band based in Las Vegas, Nevada
and Greenville, South Carolina from 1967 until his death. Slightly worn at
edges. Otherwise, fine condition.
