Orlando Wright, better known as Musa Kaleem (born January 3, 1921 – March 26, 1988)[1] was an American jazz saxophonist and flautist.
Wright bought a clarinet in 1937, and by 1939 was touring as a saxophonist with the El Rodgers Mystics of Rhythm, featuring Eddie Jefferson on lead vocals.
He played in Pittsburgh often in the 1940s, gigging with Erroll Garner, Mary Lou Williams, and Art Blakey.
[citation needed] In the middle of the decade he toured with Fletcher Henderson, then relocated to New York City and played with Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Jimmie Lunceford, and the Savoy Sultans in the late 1940s.
Upon his return in the 1960s, he played with James Moody, Coleman Hawkins, and Tiny Grimes.
