Sassofonista (alto e soprano) statunitense (Washington, D.C., 31.5.1904 – New York, 5.8.1970).

Fa il suo debutto al contrabbasso nella Carroll’s Columbia Orchestra (1918). Suona con Elmer Snowden il contrabbasso, il sassofono alto e il violino (1922-23), segue Duke Ellington a New York (1923-28) e si ferma per un periodo a Parigi el gruppo del bassista John Ricks. Forma la sua orchestra prima di suonare con Noble Sissle, Fats Waller e Chick Webb (1929), poi ritorna con Duke Ellington (1932-46). Abbandona in seguito la musica per occuparsi della gestione di alberghi e della sua fattoria nel Maryland.

Fu uno dei primi sassofonisti alto e soprano nella storia del jazz. Solista di una certa levatura, dallo stile melodico e lirico, contribuì soprattutto – come lead alto – a dare alla sezione ance di Duke Ellington un colore inimitabile.

American saxophonist (alto and soprano) (Washington, D.C., 31.5.1904 - New York, 5.8.1970).

He made his double bass debut in Carroll's Columbia Orchestra (1918). He plays double bass, alto saxophone, and violin with Elmer Snowden (1922-23), follows Duke Ellington to New York (1923-28), and stops for a period in Paris with the group of bassist John Ricks. He forms his orchestra before playing with Noble Sissle, Fats Waller, and Chick Webb (1929), then returns with Duke Ellington (1932-46). He later abandoned music to run hotels and his farm in Maryland.

He was one of the first alto and soprano saxophonists in the history of jazz. Soloist of a certain stature, with a melodic and lyrical style, he contributed above all - as a high lead - to giving Duke Ellington's reed section a unique color.
