46 The Will Bradley Orchestra “Down the Road a Piece” 1940

Born Wilbur Schwichtenberg, Bradley (1912-1989) formed a short-lived but successful band with drummer Ray McKinley (1910-1995) known for boogie-woogie hits. His later works were influenced by classical music. He played trombone for many years in bands such as the CBS studio orchestra (The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz).
