He married Ruth Marx (née Guildoo) and had a son, Richard Marx, from that marriage.
Marx
played piano from childhood, and got his professional start playing in
nightclubs in Chicago. In the 1950s he accompanied Helen Merrill and
released several albums under his own name. Starting in the 1960s, he
worked extensively in advertising and wrote some of the most popular
jingles for brands such as Ken-L Ration, Doublemint, Kellogg's Raisin
Bran, Dial Soap, Arm & Hammer, and Nestle Crunch. In 1968, he
composed the fight song for the Chicago Blackhawks, Here Come the Hawks,
which is still used today. Marx moved to Los Angeles in 1986, where he
scored films such as A League of Their Own and Edwards and Hunt and TV
shows such as Fudge. He arranged for popular musicians such as Joe
Cocker, Yoshiki, and his son, Richard Marx.

Buddy Collette
An
important force in the Los Angeles jazz community, Buddy Collette was
an early pioneer at playing jazz on the flute. Collette started on piano
as a child and then gradually learned all of the woodwinds. He played
with Les Hite in 1942; led a dance band while in the Navy during World
War II; and then freelanced in the L.A. area with such bands as the
Stars of Swing (1946), Edgar Hayes, Louis Jordan, Benny Carter, and
Gerald Wilson (1949 and 1950). An early teacher of Charles Mingus,
Collette became the first Black musician to get a permanent spot in a
West Coast studio band (from 1951 to 1955). He gained his greatest
recognition as an important member of the Chico Hamilton Quintet (1955
and 1956), and he recorded several albums as a leader in the mid- to
late '50s for Contemporary. Otherwise, he mostly stuck to the L.A. area,
freelancing, working in the studios, playing in clubs, teaching, and
inspiring younger musicians. Although a fine tenor player and a good
clarinetist, Collette's most distinctive voice is on flute; he recorded
an album with one of his former students, the great James Newton (1989).
In addition, Collette participated in a reunion of the Chico Hamilton
Quintet, and recorded a two-disc "talking record" for the Issues label
in 1994, in which he discussed some of what he had seen and experienced
through the years.

Buddy Collette
Buddy
Collette, una fuerza importante en la comunidad de jazz de Los Ángeles,
fue uno de los primeros pioneros en tocar jazz con la flauta. Collette
comenzó a tocar el piano cuando era niña y luego gradualmente aprendió
todos los instrumentos de viento. Tocó con Les Hite en 1942; dirigió una
banda de baile mientras estaba en la Marina durante la Segunda Guerra
Mundial; y luego trabajó como autónomo en el área de Los Ángeles con
bandas como Stars of Swing (1946), Edgar Hayes, Louis Jordan, Benny
Carter y Gerald Wilson (1949 y 1950). Collette, una de las primeras
maestras de Charles Mingus, se convirtió en el primer músico negro en
conseguir un lugar permanente en una banda de estudio de la costa oeste
(de 1951 a 1955). Obtuvo su mayor reconocimiento como miembro importante
del Quinteto Chico Hamilton (1955 y 1956), y grabó varios álbumes como
líder a mediados y finales de los años 50 para Contemporary. De lo
contrario, se limitó principalmente al área de Los Ángeles, trabajando
como autónomo, trabajando en los estudios, tocando en clubes, enseñando e
inspirando a músicos más jóvenes. Aunque es un buen tenor y un buen
clarinetista, la voz más distintiva de Collette es la flauta; grabó un
disco con uno de sus antiguos alumnos, el gran James Newton (1989).
Además, Collette participó en una reunión del Quinteto Chico Hamilton y
grabó un "disco parlante" de dos discos para el sello Issues en 1994, en
el que hablaba de algo de lo que había visto y experimentado a lo largo
de los años.
