Skip Martin

Lloyd "Skip" Martin (May 14, 1916, Robinson, Illinois - February 1976) was an American jazz saxophonist, clarinetist, and arranger.

Martin was active principally as an arranger for some of the most popular swing jazz bands of the 1930s and 1940s. He worked with Count Basie, Charlie Barnet (1939-40), Benny Goodman (1941), and Glenn Miller (1941-42). With Barnet and Goodman he also doubled as a reedist. He recorded with Cootie Williams in the early 1940s as well.

Later in the 1940s he worked with Les Brown, then moved to Los Angeles in the 1950s, where he did extensive work as a studio conductor and popular song arranger. He also recorded three albums as a leader.
