Comments: (November 6, 1931-December 16, 2015) He was called the best musician Maine has ever seen, and there are few who would take issue with the claim. Don Doane was born in Portland, took up the trombone when he was in grade school, and majored in music at Boston University. After a stint in the Army, he went off to New York City to become a professional jazz musician. And in the years ahead, he played with the bands of Woody Herman, Count Basie, Maynard Ferguson, and Duke Ellington. Don Doane was on the world stage, and everybody loved his playing. But in the late 1960s, he got tired of life on the road, tired of missing his wife and family, and decided to come home to Maine, where he spent the rest of career teaching music and playing gigs.
