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
