Following their marriage, the duo steadily gained popularity as Jackie and Roy, a collaboration that lasted until Kral\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s death in 2002. The Ventura sextet also brought other young musicians to prominence. Here are Jackie and Roy in Pasadena with Ventura, tenor saxophone; Boots Mussulli, alto sax; Conte Candoli, trumpet; Bennie Green, trombone; Kenny O\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Brien, bass; and Ed Shaughnessy, drums.    <\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vy73SJirtj8?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Jackie and Roy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s success as a team overshadowed Ms. Cain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ability as a soloist.
