John Gatchell

John E. Gatchell (November 27, 1945 — July 9, 2004) was an American jazz trumpeter who was prolific in New York City recording studios from the 1970s to the mid-1980s. After serving in the U.S. Navy in the late 1960s, Gatchell became one of the founding members of the horn band Ten Wheel Drive, then Gotham.[1] Gatchell was among the musicians hand-selected by Paul Simon, whom he considered to be the finest studio musicians for the 1981 Simon & Garfunkel Concert in Central Park[2]

Growing up

Gatchell graduated from Walt Whitman High School, South Huntington, Long Island, New York, around 1963. He had been a member of the Whitman High School Dance Band, directed by pioneer jazz educator Clem DeRosa.[3]
