Errol Buddle is one of Australia’s most successful jazz exports. After fronting a band in the 1950s which included Elvin Jones and Tommy Flanagan, he then led the Australian Jazz Quintet to the astonishing heights of accompanying Billie Holiday and Carmen MacRae. They played Carnegie Hall and became one of the five most popular jazz acts in America. Errol frequently featured in the Downbeat polls for tenor saxophone and in miscellaneous instruments for the bassoon, which he pioneered in jazz to startling effect. He plays oboe and most of the saxophone, clarinet, and flute families.
