Description: 8X10 Vintage B&W glossy photograph signed in blue ballpoint ink, "Best Wishes Jack C. Higginbotham". Heavy creasing throughout the photograph, in poor condition. (1906-1973) Jack C. Higginbotham was an American jazz trombonist. His playing was robust and swinging. He was born in Social Circle, Georgia, United States, and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. In the 1930s and 1940s, he played with some of the premier swing bands, including Luis Russell's, Benny Carter's, Red Allen's, Chick Webb's, Fletcher Henderson's, and Mills Blue Rhythm Band. He also played with Louis Armstrong, who had taken over Russell's band from 1937 to 1940. From 1947 on, he chiefly led his own groups. He recorded extensively both as a sideman and as a leader. He played for a long period in the 1940s with his ideal partner Red Allen, and then disappeared from the scene for several years. This lot came from the Jim Wiggins collection we purchased in July 2022. Jim Wiggins accumulated the most unique and valuable autograph collection over a period of 70-plus years. He obtained his collection either in person or by writing to persons of fame and notoriety. Comes with a full Letter of Authenticity from Todd Mueller Authentics.
