Abe Lincoln (musician)

Abram Lincoln (March 29, 1907 – June 8, 2000)[1] was an American jazz trombonist.

In the 1920s and 1930s, he spent time playing with Adrian Rollini's California Ramblers (and was the replacement trombonist for Tommy Dorsey), as well as with Arthur Lange, Ace Brigode, Roger Wolfe Kahn, Paul Whiteman, and Ozzie Nelson.

As a studio musician, Abe most prominently performed occasional solos and dixieland-stylings during the musical portions on the Old Time radio and Fibber McGee and Molly.

During the Dixieland revival, his career saw a resurgence, playing with Wingy Manone, the Rampart Street Paraders, Red Nichols, Bob Scobey, Pete Fountain, Jack Teagarden, and Matty Matlock.

[3] Lincoln played his trombone for music and sound effects "for Walter Lantz Woody Woodpecker cartoons and some Buster Keaton comedies".
