Larry Fotine (1911 - November 1990)[1] was an American jazz pianist, songwriter and producer. He was born Larry Fotinakis,[2] or more accurately Lawrence Constantine Fotinakis.[3] Fotine was a self-taught musician.[4] He led an orchestra in the early 1930s and from 1948 to 1954.[4] Between these periods, he concentrated on arranging, including for bandleader Sammy Kaye.[4] After the orchestra projects, Fotine recorded with his new band, Beale Street Buskers, and returned to arranging, this time for Lawrence Welk.[4] Later, he composed for Buttons and Rusty cartoons, and wrote music theory books.[4]
