Overview
JOHNNY CARISI was a skilled trumpeter, but he is most famous for composing Israel, the tune famously recorded by Miles Davis on Capitol and issued later on the Birth of the Cool album. Carisi's other accomplishments include his work in the bands of Claude Thornhill, Benny Goodman and Charlie Barnet. His funeral program from January 1993 stands as a testament of his importance to Jazz. The ceremony included a performance by the Loren Schoenberg and a benediction by Rev. John Garcia Gensel.
