Note(s)Milton John (Milt) Hinton (also known as Sporty, Fump, and the Judge) (1910-2000) was an American double bass player. He performed with a number of prominent musicians, most notably as a member of Cab Calloway's big band, which he left in 1951 in order to freelance in New York. Hinton began his prolific career as a studio musician with a series of romantic orchestral albums sponsored by comedian Jackie Gleason. He later taught at Hunter College, CUNY, and Baruch College, CUNY. His jazz photographs have appeared in books, magazines, museum collections and the film A Great Day in Harlem (1995). He also gained prominence as a freelance jazz educator, touring widely to give workshops and serving on national and international educational advisory boards. He continued to perform and tour through the 1990s; in 1990 his 28-episode autobiography aired on WRTI-FM in Philadelphia. Late in life Hinton was awarded several honorary doctorates as well as the American Jazz Master Fellowship (1993).
