Alto sax, bandleader.
Johnny Bothwell walked away from the music business at the end of the '40s, after having been fairly successful both as a player and bandleader. He moved from Chicago to New York in 1940, recording initially with
Woody Herman and Sonny Dunham.
Bothwell was the principal soloist with
Boyd Raeburn for a while, then played with
Gene Krupa. After that he headed his own groups from 1945-1949 in Chicago, New England and New York, then moved to Miami upon quitting playing in 1949. ~ Ron Wynn
