Trumpeter who spent his childhood honing his craft, at
the exclusion of just about everything else. He played in the Charleroi Area High
School band, wowing his fellow students, faculty, and fans at football games,
frequently playing solos. After
graduation, he attended Duquesne University, where a drummer named Ray
DeFade invited him to play in his jazz ensemble. That ensemble went on to become the
Paul Hubinon/Ray DeFade Orchestra, and cut a record for LaVere Records
entitled "Gospel Goodness (Parts 1 and 2)". Shortly after its release, they
supported their recording with a concert at Stockdale Fire Hall, where they
had more than a thousand screaming teenagers begging for more. It was clearly a portent of things
to come: In his short life, Paul
managed to put together an impressive discography which would be the envy
of someone who had lived twice as long. He recorded with Cannonball
Adderley, James Brown, Glen Campbell, Harry Chapin, Cheech & Chong,
Neil Diamond, Ella Fitzgerald, The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, Jim Horn, Thelma
Houston, Peggy Lee, Dean Martin, Billy Preston, The Righteous Brothers, Boz
Scaggs, Seals & Crofts, and Tavares. A member of the Los Angeles Symphony
Orchestra in the mid-'70s, he left his mark on film and television,
performing on the soundtrack to The
Mack, and yes, the trumpet solo on The
Jetsons. Paul passed away
on 25th May 1977, in Hollywood, California. He was only 35.
