John Collins (1913 - 2001) accompanied many Swing Era names from 1935-1950, including Art Tatum, Roy Eldridge, Billie Holiday, and Lester Young. His longest association was with Nat "King" Cole, 1951-1965. Known for his rhythm work, he soloed infrequently. Collins later taught music in the Los Angeles area.
