Musical artist
Milton John Hinton (June 23, 1910 – December 19, 2000) was an American double bassist and photographer.[1]
Regarded as the Dean of American jazz bass players,[2] his nicknames included "Sporty" from his years in Chicago, "Fump" from his time on the road with Cab Calloway, and "The Judge" from the 1950s and beyond.[3] Hinton's recording career lasted over 60 years, mostly in jazz but also with a variety of other genres as a prolific session musician.
He was also a photographer of note, praised for documenting American jazz during the 20th Century.
