Eddie Bert (born May 16, 1922) is a bebop jazz trombonist born in Yonkers, New York, USA. His first job as a musician came in 1940 when he joined the Sam Donahue Orchestra, and then joined up with Red Norvo in 1941. Bert has had a surprisingly active career in jazz, performing also with the bands of Stan Kenton and Benny Goodman's Bebop Orchestra. He also recorded extensively as a leader on various labels, including Savoy Records, Trans-World, Jazztone, and Discovery Records. Now in his 80's Bert continues to play sold-out shows, and shows no sign of slowing down. ^[1]
