Quentin "Butter" Jackson[1] (January 13, 1909 – October 2, 1976)[2] was an American jazz trombonist.

Career[edit]

In the early stage of his career, Jackson worked with Cab Calloway for eight years.[2] Later, he was a member of the Duke Ellington Orchestra and worked with Charles Mingus, Kenny Burrell, and others.[2]

On her album Dinah Sings Bessie Smith, Dinah Washington recorded a version of Bessie Smith's "Trombone Cholly" with Jackson on the horn, under the revised title, "Trombone Butter".[3]
