	Solid! -- Cootie Williams Biography
		Famed trumpeter Cootie Williams was an integral part of Duke Ellington's orchestra during the 1930s.
		Williams began performing at an early age, working around his native Mobile, Alabama, with Johnny Pope and Holman's Jazz Band and touring with the Young Family Band before moving to Pensacola, Florida, at age 15, where he joined a group led Calvin Shields.
		Williams remained with Ellington until 1940 when he left to join Benny Goodman, whom he had previously worked with during Goodman's famed Carnegie Hall Concert in 1938.

	Cootie Williams at All About Jazz
		At first, Cootie's role in the band required him to play the so-called âjungle effectsâ originally created by Miley, but his rich open horn sound and his distinctive plunger muted playing quickly became an important part of the palette with which Ellington worked.
		Cootie's work during this first period was not restricted solely to the Ellington band.
		In 1941, Cootie formed his own big band in which, over the rest of the decade, he included several leading swing era musicians, such as Eddie âLockjawâ Davis and Eddie âCleanheadâ Vinson, as well as a number of the new young beboppers, notably Bud Powell and Charlie Parker.

	Bagatellen: Joe Newman & Cootie Williams - Jazz at Midnight (Gitanes)
		The quirky coupling of Cootie Williams with organ first piqued my eye, but the presence of a Joe Newman 10” as opener wasn’t a bad bargain either.
		Cootie was an icon in twilight, the laurels of his Ellington years somewhat threadbare after a detour into commercial R&B and still years away from his belated reunion with the Duke.
		But Williams’ officiates the pick-up band of tenor, organ, guitar and drums, which sounds more like an early rock combo with its hot skittle grease organ ladled with plenty of shimmering Sun-Ra style distortion, hard chugging blues guitar and foursquare traps beats, with comfortable aplomb.
