Lem Winchester had great potential as a vibraphonist but it was all cut short by a tragic accident. Influenced by <a href="spotify:artist:23i8EixXKG0EWGRCfHlUGN">Milt Jackson</a> but developing a sound of his own, Winchester actually played tenor, baritone, and piano before choosing to stick exclusively to vibes. A police officer in Wilmington, Delaware, he made a big impression at the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival and was soon recording regularly with such major players as <a href="spotify:artist:2nQKUeZeleLGNsJj6WLUXN">Oliver Nelson</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:78NDaMzmcDKjt7mkXs7AuG">Benny Golson</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:6dUZplQfg5blo0h9HiJ94d">Tommy Flanagan</a>. Winchester resigned from the police force in 1960 to be a musician full-time, but then on January 13, 1961, he unsuccessfully demonstrated a trick with a revolver. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
