Don Sickler
Don Sickler is an American jazz trumpeter, arranger, and producer.
In the 1980s, he set up a tribute band called Dameronia, with Philly Joe Jones, to play the music of Tadd Dameron.
He also worked extensively with Joe Henderson, a collaboration leading to four Grammy Awards.
Sickler and his wife, Maureen Sickler, have been the co-owners of the Van Gelder Studio since 2016, when it was entrusted to Maureen after the death of Rudy Van Gelder.
