Dave Panichi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dave Panichi is an Australian jazz musician, trombonist and composer who began his professional musical career in 1975.

In 1981 Panichi moved to New York, where he lived for 18 years. During this time he performed with notable artists including the Buddy Rich Big Band, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Blood Sweat & Tears, Slide Hampton, Bob Mintzer, Maria Schneider, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Joe Williams, Aretha Franklin, Mel Tormé, Peabo Bryson, Dave Liebman, Mulgrew Miller and Marc Copland.

In 2000, Panichi moved back to Australia where he is currently active in teaching, performing, and composing.

Drummer Buddy Rich attempted to fire Panichi during his time with Buddy Rich's band for wearing a beard. The whole scene was taped and became a well-known bootleg showcasing Buddy's fiery temper.[1]
