Pee Wee Erwin And His Jazz Band • New York Dixieland

George Erwin, known as Pee Wee Erwin (May 30, 1913 in Falls City, Nebraska – June 20, 1981 in Teaneck, New Jersey), was an American jazz trumpeter.

Erwin started on trumpet at age four. He played in several territory bands before joining the groups of Joe Haymes (1931–33) and Isham Jones (1933–34). He then moved to New York City, where he was prolific as a studio musician, performing on radio and in recording sessions. He played with Benny Goodman in 1934-35, then with Ray Noble in 1935; the next year he joined Goodman again, taking Bunny Berigan's empty chair. In 1937 he again followed Berigan, this time in Tommy Dorsey's orchestra, where he remained until 1939.

Erwin led his own big band in 1941-42 and 1946. In the 1950s he settled in New Milford, New Jersey and played Dixieland jazz in New Orleans, and in the 1960s formed his own trumpet school with Chris Griffin; among its graduates was Warren Vache. Erwin played up until the year of his death, recording as a leader for United Artists in the 1950s and issuing six albums in 1980 and '81, the last two years of his life.

George Erwin, conocido como Pee Wee Erwin (30 de mayo de 1913 en Falls City, Nebraska - 20 de junio de 1981 en Teaneck, Nueva Jersey), era un trompetista de jazz americano.

Erwin empezó a tocar la trompeta a los cuatro años. Tocó en varias bandas del territorio antes de unirse a los grupos de Joe Haymes (1931-33) e Isham Jones (1933-34). Luego se mudó a la ciudad de Nueva York, donde fue prolífico como músico de estudio, tocando en la radio y en sesiones de grabación. Jugó con Benny Goodman en 1934-35, luego con Ray Noble en 1935; al año siguiente se unió a Goodman de nuevo, tomando la silla vacía de Bunny Berigan. En 1937 volvió a seguir a Berigan, esta vez en la orquesta de Tommy Dorsey, donde permaneció hasta 1939.

Erwin dirigió su propia big band en 1941-42 y 1946. En los años 50 se estableció en New Milford, New Jersey y tocó jazz Dixieland en New Orleans, y en los años 60 formó su propia escuela de trompeta con Chris Griffin; entre sus graduados se encontraba Warren Vache. Erwin tocó hasta el año de su muerte, grabando como líder de United Artists en los años 50 y editando seis álbumes en 1980 y'81, los dos últimos años de su vida.
