A.k.a. Rudolph S. Salvini

March 22, 1925 - June 7, 2011. After a stint during World War II in the Army Air Corps band, Rudy returned to San Francisco State University and received his Bachelors in Music and teaching credential. He taught K-8 music in the Pacifica School District until his retirement in 1985. In 1954 Rudy started the Rudy Salvini Big Band. The band found great success in an era when Big Band music was considered passé and, in 1958 was invited to play at the inaugural Monterey Jazz Festival. This was the first of his many appearances. Rudy's eclectic and long career allowed him to play with many greats, including: Dave Brubeck, Mel Tormé, Earl "Fatha" Hines, Turk Murphy, Vince Guaraldi, Cal Tjader to name a few.
