Milt Turner
Milton Turner (1930-1993) was a jazz drummer.
After graduating from Pearl High School,[1] he attended Tennessee State University, where he coincided with Hank Crawford,[2] who he later recommended to join him in Ray Charles' band when he took over from William Peeples in the late 1950s.
In 1962, he was a member of Phineas Newborn's trio with Leroy Vinnegar,[3] on whose solo albums he would later appear, and in the early 1960s, Turner also recorded with Teddy Edwards. He never recorded as a leader.
