[Durium]

Donn Andre, a banjo and guitar player, visited Holland in the summer of 1956 at a Student Cruise Program of the Holland America Line and the NBBS. His group, the Catatonic Five, performed at the Vliegende Hollander in Scheveningen, the club of Dutch entertainer and piano player Pia Beck. One of the members of his band was Jimmy Wormworth, drummer, who was the leader of the American Jazz Sextet, a group of students to play as the opening performance at the J. J. Johnson Quintet concert at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
