Don Lanphere

Donald Gale Don Lanphere was an American jazz tenor and soprano saxophonist born in Wenatchee, Washington, perhaps best known for his 1940s and 1950s work and recordings with Fats Navarro , Woody Herman , Claude Thornhill, Sonny Dunham, Billy May and Charlie Barnet, among others.

Lanphere was mostly inactive musically throughout most of the 1960s, but began performing in the Seattle area after becoming a born again Christian in 1969, at which time he also stopped using drugs and alcohol. In the 1980s Lanphere began recording again and started releasing albums, doing tours in New York and Kansas City in 1983 and a European tour in 1985.
