Marshall Sosson Born: 18th August 1910. Died: 28th April 2002. Violinist equally comfortable with Jazz and Chamber repertoire.

After the war, he formed the Los Angeles String Trio and Piano Quartet, giving chamber music recitals with pianist Leonard Stein and cellist and violinist Kurt and Sven Rehr, varying his diet of serious music with rollicking jam sessions with pianist Johnny Guerneri at the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee.
