Charlie Green

Among the finest early trombonists as well as the initial strong jazz soloist within the Fletcher Henderson orchestra (signing up for slightly before Louis Armstrong), Charlie Green played locally in Omaha (1920-1923) before his two stints with Henderson (July 1924-Apr 1926 and later 1928-springtime 1929). An excellent blues participant who may possibly also golf swing pretty early, Green starred on many traditional Bessie Smith recordings (including one known as “Trombone Cholly”), documented within the 1920s with other blues performers, and also caused the rings of Benny Carter (1929-1931 and 1933), Chick Webb (many times during 1930-1934), Don Redman (1932), and by the end with Kaiser Marshall. His early loss of life was from fainting on his doorstep on the winter night time and freezing to loss of life.
