Jerry Coker (born November 28, 1932) is an American jazz saxophonist and
pedagogue.

Coker was born in South Bend, Indiana. He attended Indiana University in the
early 1950s, but le school to become a member of Woody Herman's Herd.
Coker eventually earned undergraduate and graduate degrees while he taught
jazz at Sam Houston State University (then Sam Houston State Teachers
College). He recorded under his own name in the mid-1950s and as a sideman
with Nat Pierce, Dick Collins, and Mel Lewis; later that decade he played with
Stan Kenton. In 1960 he began teaching and increasingly turned to music
education and composition. He taught at Indiana University, Duke University,
University of Miami, North Texas State University, and started the Studio
Music and Jazz program at the University of Tennessee, where he was a
professor of music from the 1980s through the 2000s.
