Johnny Mince

Johnny Mince (born John Henry Muenzenberger; July 8, 1912 – December 23, 1994)[1] was an American swing jazz clarinetist.

Mince played with Joe Haymes from 1929 to 1934,[2] and recorded with Red Norvo and Glenn Miller in 1935.

After an extended stint in the U.S. military (1941–45), Mince worked as a studio musician for several decades.

He continued to play at jazz revival festivals until his retirement due to ill health.
