Hi --
I've been searching diligently for the pronunciation of Big Band trumpeter, orchestra leader, composer, and educator Tone Kwas -- but with little success. Wiktionary suggests that, generally, "Tone" should be pronounced as is the common noun "tone." Namespedia.com, not altogether helpfully gives a list of rhyming words for "Kwas": Iowas Ojibwas Ottawas schwas was twas does buzz schemas crush.
Any jazz aficionado out there who happens to know how musician Tone Kwas name is pronounced?
Thanks in advance!
