Bennie Green (trombone)
Art Farmer (trumpet); Cliff Smalls (piano); Addison Farmer (bass); Philly Joe Jones (drums)

For a brief time, Bennie Green (1923-1977) was among the most popular trombonists in the world. As a member of Charlie Ventura's crowd-pleasing small group in the late Forties, Green played nightly to packed, adoring houses. These sides, while not made for those in the second balcony, jump nonetheless. Green's second Prestige date, the fare here is typical of many small-group studio get-togethers of the time: relaxed blowing on the blues or "I Got Rhythm" changes (Art Farmer's "Skycoach"), a swinging standard, and a ballad. Green and Farmer (1928-1999), however, weren't an everyday front-line pairing. The trombonist was a fat-toned extrovert, while the trumpeter, who would join Horace Silver's crack sextet a few months after this session, leaned toward more introverted lines. With the great Philly Joe Jones stoking the rhythmic fire, this set fairly cooked.

Includes liner notes by Ira Gitler.



Bennie Green

Active Decades: '50s and '60s
Born: Apr 16, 1923 in Chicago, IL
Died: Mar 23, 1977 in San Diego, CA
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Bop, Swing

Bennie Green was one of the few trombonists of the 1950s who played in a style not influenced by J.J. Johnson (Bill Harris was another). His witty sound and full tone looked backwards to the swing era yet was open to the influence of R&B. After playing locally in Chicago, he was with the Earl Hines Orchestra during 1942-1948 (except for two years in the military). Green gained some fame for his work with Charlie Ventura (1948-1950) before joining Earl Hines' small group (1951-1953). He then led his own group throughout the 1950s and '60s, using such sidemen as Cliff Smalls, Charlie Rouse, Eric Dixon, Paul Chambers, Louis Hayes, Sonny Clark, Gildo Mahones, and Jimmy Forrest. Green recorded regularly as a leader for Prestige, Decca, Blue Note, Vee-Jay, Time, Bethlehem, and Jazzland during 1951-1961, although only one further session (a matchup with Sonny Stitt on Cadet in 1964) took place. Bennie Green was with Duke Ellington for a few months in 1968-1969 and then moved to Las Vegas, where he spent his last years working in hotel bands, although he did emerge to play quite well at the 1972 Newport Jazz Festival and in New York jam sessions.
