He came from a musical family, his brother Elbert played tenor sax with Roy Eldridge. He notably played with the Duke Ellington Orchestra but missed out on a 1969 European tour due to passport problems that could have been caused by his having spent time in prison. He ended his career like many jazzmen of his time by playing in hotel bands in Las Vegas.
