Orie Frank Trumbauer (May 30, 1901 – June 11, 1956) was an American jazz saxophonist of the 1920s and 1930s. His main instrument was the C melody saxophone, a now-uncommon instrument between an alto and tenor saxophone in size and pitch. He also played alto saxophone, bassoon, clarinet, and several other instruments. He was a composer of sophisticated saxophone melodies and one of the major small group jazz bandleaders of the 1920s and 1930s. His landmark recording of "Singin' the Blues", with Bix Beiderbecke and Eddie Lang in 1927, was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1977. His major recordings included "Krazy Kat", "Red Hot", "Plantation Moods", "Trumbology", "Tailspin", "Singin' the Blues", "Wringin' an' Twistin'", "For No Reason at All in C" with Beiderbecke and Lang, and the first hit recording of "Georgia on My Mind" in 1931.
