(July 29th 1900 - November 30th 1964)
A saxophonist, composer and arranger born in West Virginia in 1900, Donald Matthew Redman became a prominent member of the "Fletcher Henderson Orchestra". In 1927 he assumed control of "Mckinney's Cotton Pickers", a group initially established in Detroit by drummer William McKinney, before becoming the leader of his own hot Orchestra. Redman's radical musical concepts would make him a component indispensable to the development of Swing.
