An early friendship with Eddie Daniels continued to inspire Herb as he played bass in the Newport Youth Band and was hired in the Catskills Hotel house band with drummer Steve Schaeffer, who later joined Herb with Sarah Vaughn. By this time, Herb had concentrated his interest in jazz, having completed his first road trip to England with Peter Nero.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>By age 19, Herb was playing jam sessions on bass, and hired to be a regular member of the Monday night rhythm section at Birdland. Not afraid to ask his heroes about their hip chord changes, Herb collected a lifelong inventory of great chords and voicings of standards and jazz tunes. His piano playing encouraged him to sit near pianists such as Bill Evans, Kenny Barron, Bud Powell, and Barry Harris, and in this way, learn some of their secrets. During this period, Herb could be seen wheeling his bass to the subway to get his bass lessons with Charles Mingus. The stories that Herb experienced as a student, player, jazz fan and teacher are worth rehearing. As a storyteller and pianist, he became a close friend with Howard Danzinger, a pianist and humorist in New York. When Herb moved to Los Angeles, he played bass with Barney Kessel, Paul Smith and Ross Tomkins. He was friends with Frank Collett whom he hired to join Sarah Vaughn. As music director for Sarah Vaugh, Herb had hired Chick Correa and played with Bob James in her trio before that.<\/p>\n<p>Herb was a member of the Clayton\/Hamilton big band and recorded with them at Monterey. His friendship with some of the top pianists includes Victor Feldman, Lou Levy, Jack Russin and Frank Colett. Herb\u2019s favorite pianist was Hank Jones. Herb Mickman was a well-respected teacher of bass, piano and harmony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Life Member.
