Rowland Bernart “Bunny” Berigan was born November 2, 1908, in Hilbert, Wisconsin. He took violin lessons for a brief period as a child but soon switched permanently to trumpet. Berigan started his career playing with local bands as a teenager including the University of Wisconsin’s jazz ensemble although he never actually went to college. In 1928, ...
After the Kemp Orchestra returned to the U.S. from Europe, Berigan became a very busy studio musician. His tone and sight-reading abilities were considered major assets in addition to his talent at constructing concise but memorable jazz solos. The Depression may have been raging, but Berigan was able to maintain a relatively lucrative lifestyle. B...
Surprisingly, Berigan temporarily left the studios to become a member of the Paul Whiteman Orchestra in November 1932. Maybe he thought of Bix Beiderbecke’s period with Whiteman and the possible prestige that the association would bring to him. However Whiteman underutilized Berigan (who only had the chance to take a handful of solos and appear on ...
1935 found Berigan starring on sessions with the Red Norvo Swing Octet (which included Chu Berry, Teddy Wilson, and Gene Krupa), Red McKenzieand the Mound City Blue Blowers, and an early Glenn Miller date.

Bunny Berigan led his first real sessions during 1935-36, five combo dates that matched his trumpet with such sidemen as tenors Eddie Miller and Bud Freeman, pianists Cliff Jackson and Joe Bushkin, and clarinetist Artie Shaw. He also appeared on film for the second and last time, playing and singing “Until Today” with Fred Rich. And in 1936 he reco...
Berigan’s health was starting to decline and his playing, which could still be brilliant, was becoming unreliable. To save money, he rejoined the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra which was thriving. While Berigan had a few solos with Dorsey (including “I’m Nobody’s Baby” and “East Of The Sun”) there was no repeat of his “Marie” success. Once on the radio Ber...
