Timeline

1926

Willie Dennis (née William DeBerardinis, January 10, 1926 – July 8, 1965) was an American jazz trombonist known as a big band musician but who was also an excellent bebop soloist.

1950

In the late 1950s Dennis returned to his big band roots, joining Buddy Rich in 1959 after stints with Benny Goodman (with whom he travelled to the Soviet Union in 1962) and Woody Herman.

1951

In 1951, Dennis began studying with Lennie Tristano.

To make ends meet, he worked as an attendant at the Museum of Modern Art.

1956

The fullest recorded example of Dennis's solo work is on a little-known 1956 Savoy disc by English pianist Ronnie Ball (also a student of Tristano), All About Ronnie, in the company of Ted Brown and Kenny Clarke.

Dennis toured with Mingus in 1956.

He published an essay, "The History of the Trombone," in Metronome.

1959

After working with Elliot Lawrence, Claude Thornhill, and Sam Donahue, Dennis also performed with Charles Mingus, appearing on two of Mingus's albums in 1959, Blues & Roots and Mingus Ah Um. In 1953, Dennis recorded Four Trombones (released in 1957) for Mingus's Debut Records.

The other three trombones were J. J. Johnson, Kai Winding and Bennie Green.

1960

In the 1960s, Dennis often performed with Gerry Mulligan.

Dennis was known for his extremely fast articulation on the trombone, obtained by means of varying the natural harmonics of the instrument with minimal recourse to the slide (a technique known as "crossing the grain"), for instance, during his improvised solo on a performance of "Chuggin'" with the Gerry Mulligan Concert Band.

1961

Dennis married singer Morgana King in 1961; the couple had no children.

1965

He died in 1965 in an automobile accident in Central Park, New York City.
