Billy Usselton (1926-1994), was a modern, controlled, articulate, swinging tenor man, full of fresh ideas and surprises, rhythm and good taste. After stints with the Ray Anthony and Tommy Dorsey orchestras he joined Les Brown’s Band of Renown. These 1956 recordings are the only ones he did as featured soloist of his own group, whose configuration included a bass clarinet.

Reviews

Jazz Journal - Gordon Jack

He proves as a leader to be an articulate soloist, clearly influenced by Stan Getz. There is an elegance and poise to this music which is another in Fresh Sound's excellent Jazzcity series.
