JAZZ MUSICIAN CAVANAUGH DIES
Jazz pianist and singer PAGE CAVANAUGH has died of kidney failure, aged 86.
The jazz star, whose Page Cavanaugh Trio rose to fame in the 1940s on film and in Frank Sinatra's radio show, died on 26 December (08).
The act played at nightclubs along Southern California until the 1990s, and appeared in several films including Doris Day's big screen debut, 1948s Romance on the High Seas.
Cavanaugh's band also appeared with Sinatra at New York's famed Waldorf-Astoria among other venues, and played for NBC Radio's Jack Paar Show.
Most recently, the group released its album Return to Elegance in 2006.
Cavanaugh, who never married, reportedly has no surviving family members.
