Wilbur Schwartz (March 17, 1918 in New Jersey - August 3 1990 in Los Angeles) was a clarinetist and alto saxophonist who is best remembered today for his work with Glenn Miller. Wilbur (also known as Wilbur) looked like a kewpie doll.
Schwartz joined Miller in 1937 and remained with Miller until 1942. He was featured on all the ballad numbers. With the addition of Schwartz’s wonderful tone added in the Miller reed section, the sound of the Milker band became one that none of the imitators could ever reproduce. But prior to joining Miller, Schwartz played with Julie Wintz’s band.
