From Wikipedia.
I mentioned him in yesterday's post.
He was born Wilbur Schwictenbery and was known as one of the premier trombonists on the New York swing scene.
He and Ray McKinley were known for their boogie woogie beat and made the Billboard Top Ten with "Down the Road a Piece.
In 1942, he joined the U.S. Army and played in Glenn Miller's band. After the war, he was a studio musician for many years and was in the Tonight Show Band during the Johnny Carson era.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
