Yes, Manny Ziegler was the NYPO's principal bassoonist at that time and did indeed give lessons to Illinois Jacquet. Ziegler was a terror with his students at Juilliard and Manhattan and I suspect he was a bit gentler with Jacquet.
Jacquet introduced Zeigler to the NYC jazz community and you can hear him on a few well-known jazz recordings!
