On this week's JAZZ ARCHIVES, we feature another of the pioneer trombonists of early jazz. A superior blues player, and the first swinging instrumentalist of Fletcher Henderson's band, 'Big' Green ranks as one of the very first trombonists to 'liberate' his instrument from its earlier percussive roots
