Harry Drabkin was a student and faculty member at the Berklee College of Music in the late ‘60s, then traded his horns for a medical career. After 30+ years, with family encouragement, especially musician son Rob, he managed to dust off the cases and make a comeback, while continuing to practice Oncology part-time. As a leader, he’s performed at Dazzle, Nocturne, KUVO, the Five Points Jazz Festival and other venues in Denver and Boulder. His latest CD, released at Dazzle October 17th, is entitled “Reincarnation of a Lovebird”.
