One of the finest early trombonists and the first strong jazz soloist in the <a href="spotify:artist:2ovJLSejirvJybNers2YG6">Fletcher Henderson</a> orchestra (joining slightly before <a href="spotify:artist:19eLuQmk9aCobbVDHc6eek">Louis Armstrong</a>), Charlie Green played locally in Omaha (1920-1923) before his two stints with <a href="spotify:artist:2ovJLSejirvJybNers2YG6">Henderson</a> (July 1924-April 1926 and late 1928-spring 1929). A superior blues player who could also swing fairly early, Green starred on several classic <a href="spotify:artist:5ESobCkc6JI4tIMxQttqeg">Bessie Smith</a> recordings (including one called "Trombone Cholly"), recorded in the 1920s with several other blues singers, and also worked with the bands of <a href="spotify:artist:5dlCVmfRbWVGOJYHzGyk32">Benny Carter</a> (1929-1931 and 1933), <a href="spotify:artist:7AgtFmxbJL1wDbp7yYrzQb">Chick Webb</a> (several times during 1930-1934), <a href="spotify:artist:4xgDy82aqLHAG2Is3ELRWv">Don Redman</a> (1932), and at the end with Kaiser Marshall. His premature death was from passing out on his doorstep on a winter night and freezing to death. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
