Mort Weiss

In fact, prior to Mort Weiss' debut CD with organist Joey DeFrancesco, it is possible that combination had never been utilized before.

"[1] Weiss has performed with Bill Cunliffe, Sam Most, Ramon Banda, Dave Carpenter, Roy McCurdy, and Luther Hughes and has written essays for the website All About Jazz.

He frequented jazz clubs, participating in after-hours jam sessions, and spending many hours in the woodshed honing his craft.

In the ten years following his discharge, there was a dearth of work for jazz clarinetists and the tenor saxophone became his bread and butter.

Their collaboration led to a recording session that became No Place to Hide, the first album on Weiss's label SMS Jazz.
