In early stages, Queener caused Muggsy Spanier (1942), the Harry Adam Orchestra, Glen Grey, Joe Marsala and Benny Goodman (1945-46). Queener resolved into Nick’s in NY for four years (1946-50) and spent a lot of his profession freelancing with Dixieland all-stars. Among his organizations had been Bobby Hackett, Billy Butterfield, Jimmy McPartland, Ruby Braff, Potential Kaminsky, Wingy Manone (1954-60), Crazy Costs Davison and Clarence Hutchenrider (on / off from 1958-73), among numerous others. Queener, who proved helpful in to the 1990s, also constructed orchestral works beginning in the middle-1960s but hardly ever led an archive program of his very own.
