Carl Fontana Musical artist

Carl Charles Fontana (July 18, 1928 - October 9, 2003) was an American jazz trombonist. Because Fontana rarely recorded under his own name and toured only occasionally after 1958, he is significantly less famous among mainstream jazz fans, although well-known amongst trombonists.
