Urbie
Green,
Trombonist & soloist, USA
b. Aug. 8, 1926, Mobile, AL - Jazz Artist, New York City
Martin trombonist Urban (Urbie) Green, known as the
“trombonist’s trombonist,” is one of the true greats of jazz,
among the elite of the world’s trombone players. Urbie Green has
toured with Woody Herman, Gene Krupa and Frankie Carle and has
been cited numerous times in Down Beat magazine’s annual critics
awards. Green has also established an extensive career as a
free-lance trombonist for recording artists such as Count Basie,
Frank Sinatra, Leonard Bernstein, Louis Armstrong and others. He
has approximately 30 albums under his own name, appeared
in the film version of The Benny Goodman Story and appears at
major jazz festivals. Lately his solo career has taken him
around the world three times in as many years. Urbie’s
collaboration with Martin design engineers has led to
innovations in the comfort of the hand brace and slide, an
improved water hole with a curved key that empties easily in one
turn rather than several shakes, and a goose neck that is
chrome-plated to prevent players’ clothing from becoming marked
by brass.
To that select list of wonderful instrumentalists who have led
their own dance bands to fortune and everlasting fame, you can
add the name of URBIE GREEN. No one…but no one… plays smoother,
warmer, more mellow trombone.
Urbie Green was born and raised in Mobile, Alabama, and by the
time he was sixteen was working professionally with Tommy
Reynolds’ band. There followed music and years with Jan Savitt,
Frankie Carle, Gene Krupa, and finally, Woody Herman. In October
1950, Urbie became part of Woody Herman’s Thundering Herd, and
in 1954 won the Down Beat International Critics Award for NEW
STAR.
Urbie became one of the most sought-after trombonists for
recording and club work in New York City. He is a multiple
winner of the Most Valuable Player Award from the National
Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, and perhaps the most
recorded musician of all time. He has recorded with Gene Krupa,
Woody Herman, Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie,
Leonard Bernstein, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Tony Bennett,
Peggy Lee, Pearl Bailey, Ella Fitzgerald, Mile Davis, Charlie
Parker, Coleman Hawkins, Dizzy Gillespie, Barbara Steisand,
Perry Como, Aretha Franklin, Quincy Jones, J.J.Johnson, Antonio
Carlos Jobim, Burt Bacharach, Buck Clayton and Herbie Mann, to
name a few. He was seen and heard in the movie “The Benny
Goodman Story”, and shortly afterwards fronted the Benny Goodman
Orchestra for a three month tour. He has appeared in major jazz
festivals, motion pictures, concert halls, nightclubs, radio,
television and the White House. In addition, Urbie has performed
at Lincoln Center with an all-star band led by Benny Carter in a
special tribute to Ella Fitzgerald, and in Thailand, with the
Benny Carter all-stars in a special performance for the King of
Thailand.
