Milt Raskin (January 27, 1916 – October 16, 1977) was an American swing jazz pianist.
Born in Boston, Mass., Raskin played saxophone as a child before switching to piano at age 11.
He worked on local Boston-area radio before moving to New York City, where he played with Wingy Manone in 1937 at the Famous Door and Gene Krupa in 1938-39.
He moved to Los Angeles in 1944, where he occasionally worked in jazz (including on recordings by Artie Shaw, Billie Holiday, and Georgie Auld), but concentrated on work as a studio musician and musical director.
