Biographical Note

Musician and arranger Kenneth (Ken) M. Tiffany, Jr. was born in 1936 and remembered always having

a love of music. After learning various instruments he decided the trombone was his favorite. He played

professionally all over the country with many noted swing bands before settling in Las Vegas, Nevada,

where he was the lead trombone player at the Sahara Hotel for many years. Tiffany also played in other Strip

hotel bands, participated in a 76 Trombones concert in Ham Hall on the campus of the University of Nevada,

Las Vegas, and arranged music for many showroom headliners. Tiffany passed away at the age of 63 on July

28, 1999.
