Herman Sherman

Herman Sherman

Herman Edward Sherman, Sr. (June 28, 1923, New Orleans - September 10, 1984, New Orleans) was an American jazz saxophonist and bandleader.

Sherman played clarinet in high school and later picked up alto and tenor sax. He began working with brass bands on the New Orleans jazz scene around 1940, playing in the Eureka Brass Band, the Onward Brass Band, and the Young Tuxedo Brass Band. He took over the leadership of the Young Tuxedo Brass Band in 1971 until his death in 1984, and during his tenure the group toured the United States repeatedly and appeared in Berlin in 1980. He led the ensemble in the studio for their 1983 release "Jazz Continues" on 504 Records. Sherman occasionally played in dance bands, but concentrated on his work in brass bands.
