Monty Budwig
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monty Rex Budwig (December 26, 1926–March 9, 1992) was born in Pender, Nebraska.
Monty Budwig was a West Coast jazz bassist (he moved to Los Angeles in 1954). He began playing bass during high school. He also played in the military band while he was enlisted in the Air Force. Budwig recorded and performed with many of the jazz greats (Carmen McRae, Barney Kessel, Woody Herman, Red Norvo and Shelly Manne). He is probably best known for his playing with Vince Guaraldi, but there has been some controversy as to whether or not he was the bassist heard on the Charlie Brown Christmas Album. He released one recording as a leader (Dig on the Concord label).
