Gerald Wiggins

Gerald Wiggins was a much respected classically trained jazz pianist who, over the course of his long career accompanied the likes of Louis Armstrong, Benny Carter, Lena Horne, Lou Rawls, Nat King Cole, and Eartha Kitt.  Television junkies may remember him for his cameos on 227 and Moesha.  Wiggins passed away at a Los Angeles hospital at the age of 86.
