Urbie Green And His Orchestra • Let's Face The Music And Dance


 



Biography by Scott Yanow
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.

Biografía de Scott Yanow
Urbie Green, un excelente intérprete de jazz con un tono precioso que ha pasado la mayor parte de su carrera en los estudios, es muy respetado por sus colegas trombonistas. Empezó a tocar a los 12 años, formó parte de las big bands de Tommy Reynolds, Bob Strong y Frankie Carle cuando era adolescente y trabajó con Gene Krupa entre 1947 y 1950. Green formó parte del Third Herd de Woody Herman, participó en algunas de las famosas jam sessions de Buck Clayton (1953-1954) y estuvo con Benny Goodman de forma intermitente entre 1955 y 1957. Tocó con Count Basie en 1963, y en los años sesenta estuvo al frente de la banda fantasma de Tommy Dorsey (1966-1967), pero se ha dedicado sobre todo al trabajo de estudio. Urbie Green grabó con frecuencia como líder en los años 50 hasta 1963 (para Blue Note, Vanguard, Bethlehem, ABC-Paramount, y discos orientados a bandas de baile para RCA y Command). Desde entonces ha aparecido con mucha menos frecuencia en el mundo del jazz, pero grabó dos discos para CTI en 1976-1977.
