Welcome to the official website of legendary hot jazz trombonist Abram "Abe" Lincoln!

Due to various changes in website coding standards, we've given Abe's site a general facelift. Abe's site will continue to be a work-in-progress as new content becomes available for inclusion.

We already have a lot of content we want to share with you.  We're still working toward including sound & video clips, articles, more photos, etc.  This site's goal is to showcase the life and times of one of the most exciting and underrated hot jazz trombonists in the history of jazz.  Former Jim Cullum Jazz Band trombonist and life-long Abe Lincoln fan, Mike Pittsley, is currently in the process of transcribing some of Abe's solos for inclusion here on the website.  Check back to see what's new!

Speaking of transcribed Abe Lincoln solos, the website's masthead is a transcription of the first few measures of Abe's solo on "The Sheik of Araby," recorded in October of 1953 for the album, "Jam Session, Coast to Coast" on Columbia Records CL-547.

 If you want to follow along and missed it the first time around, just click the start button on the embedded player to start the solo over again and you will hear Abe's ultra-hot solo in its entirety.  It's one of Abe's classic solos and showcases the fire and energy that comprised Abe's trademark style.

Enjoy your visit!
