Preston Love was one of the most respected alto saxophonists of his time. The Preston Love Orchestra was
the top orchestra in the Midwest for several years before Preston moved to California in 1962. While in California, he became
a top studio woodwind player and made countless recordings and television shows with nearly every big named artist.
As a leader of the West Coast Mowtown Orchestra, Preston was the regular bandleader for The Supremes, The
Temptations, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, The Four Tops, Steveie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Aretha Franklin to name a few.
Prompted by his love for Omaha and the Midwest, Preston returned to live in Omaha where he made national
tours with many name artists as their back-up bandleader.
Omaha's most notable jazz musician passed away from lung cancer at age 82.
