He worked with Ray McKinley and Woody Herman as an alto saxophonist and composer, took over Buddy DeFranco's clarinet seat with the Metronome All-Stars in 1951 and was a founding member of the Jazz Composer's Workshop with Charles Mingus and Teo Macero in 1953. He recorded extensively with Mingus, the JCW, and pianist Lennie Tristano in the 1950s on both sax and clarinet. He was a highly influential jazz educator and helped create the curriculum at the famed Berklee College of Music in Boston. Although he recorded often and was a much in demand session player, LaPorta only recorded a handful of albums as a leader. Recorded in 1959, \"The Most Minor\" is a wonderful showcase for LaPorta's alto sax and features a thoughtful selection of tunes including three original compositions plus works by composers as varied as Charlie Parker and Duke Ellington. One of the great audiophile recordings from the dawn of the stereo age, La Porta is joined on this classic album by the rhythm section of Jack Reilly on piano, Dick Carter on bass and Charles Perry on the drums.

As the new science of polyphony grew, it saw addition of several new compositions to the repertoire, particularly in the years following the death of Charlemagne.

After an audition with Berry Gordy, he relocated for a brief time to Detroit where he honed his skills as a songwriter and producer. Pairing a singer with a song had always been one of George's great talents. A case in point would be Linda Jones and the song \"Hypnotized\" that became a huge hit in the mid-1960's or being the first producer to record a soul group (The Escorts) behind bars (all the members were in prison). Fearless and adventurous, Kerr has remained a vital figure in soul music, particularly in New Jersey (his home turf) with successes in every decade since he started out. In 1970, somehow George found time to release his own album, \"The Other Side of George Kerr\" - which remains one of the great overlooked soul albums of the early 1970's.
