Jimmy Maxwell

Jimmy Maxwell (January 9, 1917 - July 20, 2002) was an American swing jazz trumpeter.

Maxwell played cornet from an early age, studying with Herbert L. Clarke in the early 1930s. He played with Gil Evans (1933-34), Jimmy Dorsey (1936), Maxine Sullivan, and Skinnay Ennis before joining Benny Goodman's band from 1939-43. He also played with Goodman later in life, including on his tour of the Soviet Union in 1962. He worked as a studio musician for CBS from 1943, playing on "The Perry Como Show" (1945-63) and "The Tonight Show" (1963-73). Alongside this he worked as a sideman for Woody Herman (1958), Count Basie, Duke Ellington (1973), Oliver Nelson, Gerry Mulligan, The New York Jazz Repertory Company, and Chuck Israels's National Jazz Ensemble. He also taught from 1950.

Later in life Maxwell worked with Dixieland jazz and swing ensembles such as Dick Sudhalter's New California Ramblers. He led one session for Circle Records in 1977. He retired later in life but still taught music until 2001, and died the next year.
