HAL KEMP picture
Hal Kemp (March 27, 1904 – December 21, 1940) was a jazz alto saxophonist, clarinetist, bandleader, composer, and arranger. He was born in Marion, Alabama and died in Madera, California following an auto accident. Art Jarrett took on leadership of Kemp's orchestra in 1941. His major recordings were "There's a Small Hotel", "This Year's Kisses", "Where or When", "When I'm With You", "Got a Date With an Angel" and "Three Little Fishes".
