Album Info & Personnel:
A fine jazz player with a beautiful tone who has spent most of his
career in the studios, Urbie Green is highly respected by his fellow
trombonists. He started playing when he was 12; was with the big bands
of Tommy Reynolds, Bob Strong, and Frankie Carle as a teenager; and
worked with Gene Krupa during 1947-1950. Green had a stint with Woody
Herman's Third Herd, appeared on some of the famous Buck Clayton jam
sessions (1953-1954), and was with Benny Goodman off and on during
1955-1957. He played with Count Basie in 1963, and spent a period in the
1960s fronting the Tommy Dorsey ghost band (1966-1967), but has mostly
stuck to studio work. Urbie Green recorded frequently as a leader in the
1950s up to 1963 (for Blue Note, Vanguard, Bethlehem, ABC-Paramount,
and dance band-oriented records for RCA and Command). He has appeared
much less often in jazz settings since then, but did make two albums for
CTI in 1976-1977. - Scott YanowSaxes: George Young, Frank Wess, Eddie Daniels, Arnie Lawrence, Phil Bodner, Danny Bank
