Keyboardist Joe Springer, and Jeff's parents Peggy Lane
and Frank Orchard
San Francisco rehearsal pianist & accompanist
ARE YOU A VOCALIST IN NEED OF A PROFESSIONAL PIANO ACCOMPANIST
who'll never forget your key and keep the show rolling should you drop a lyric ?
Jeff's no stranger to bandstands or playing behind vocalists, at cocktail lounges to big-band dances. He also understands about entertaining, having grown up around vocalists in a New York musical show-biz family.
Billie Holiday's accompanist was Joe Springer, who also played for Jeff's mother, Virginia Reinhard, known by her stage name Peggy Lane. Billie and Jeff's mother
were very close. Peggy used to visit Lady Day in the bandroom at the Onyx Club all the time.
Joe Springer is pictured here with Jeff's mother and father, valve trombonist Frank Orchard. The group was called Frank Orchard's Hot Four With Ginger Added.
