Playing alto saxophone and cornet respectively, they had significant success with their own band, which featured Joe Zawinul on piano, and also with major jazz musicians such as Miles Davis and John Coltrane. While living in Florida in the 1940s, they played with Ray Charles who also lived in the area at the time.
