BILLY

Maxted began his career in 1937 as a member of the Red Nichols big band, for which he wrote arrangements. From 1940 he played with Teddy Powell, Ben Pollack and Will Bradley (1941-42). After serving in the U.S. Navy he wrote arrangements for the big bands of Claude Thornhill and Benny Goodman. He led a band with Ray Eberle (1947-48) and soon after led his own Manhattan Jazz Band, which played Dixieland with Bob Zurke on boogie-woogie piano. He was house pianist at Nick's club in Greenwich Village from 1949-1960 from where he did a weekly broadcast over NBC. In the 1950s he recorded for MGM, Brunswick, Cadence, and Seeco. In 1958, British bandleader Reg Owen had a major hit on the American charts with Maxted's upbeat instrumental composition, "Manhattan Spiritual", released on the Palette label. His sidemen included trumpeter Chuck Forsyth, trombonist Lee Gifford, either Sol Pace or Dan Tracey on clarinet, and (by 1958) bass saxophonist Johnny Dengler. In the 1960s, he recorded for K&H and Liberty and as a sideman for Bob Crosby, Pee Wee Erwin, and Red Nichols.
