William Wells, (c.June 10, 1907 - November 12, 1985), more famous under the name of Dicky Wells (sometimes Dickie Wells), was an American jazz trombonist.〔(Entry in Encyclopædia Britannica )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Dicky Wells biography )〕 Dickie Wells was born in Centerville, Tennessee. He moved to New York City in 1926, and became a member of the Lloyd Scott band. He played with Count Basie between 1938–1945 and 1947-1950. He also played with Cecil Scott, Spike Hughes, Fletcher Henderson, Benny Carter, Teddy Hill, Jimmy Rushing, Buck Clayton and Ray Charles. In his later years, Wells suffered a severe beating that affected his memory, but he recovered and continued to perform. He played frequently at the West End jazz club at 116th and Broadway, most often with a band called The Countsmen, led by alto saxophonist Earle Warren, his colleague from Count Basie days. A trademark was Wells's "pepper pot" mute which he made himself. He died on November 12, 1985, in New York City. Shortly after his death, Wells's family donated his trombone to Rutgers University. ==Discography== With Count Basie *''The Original American Decca Recordings'' (GRP, 1937-39 ()) With Buck Clayton and Tommy Gwaltney's Kansas City 9 *''Goin' to Kansas City'' (Riverside, 1960) With Dizzy Gillespie *''The Complete RCA Victor Recordings'' (Bluebird, 1937-1949, ()) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dicky Wells」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
