Georgie Auld was a tenor saxophonist of French-Canadian extraction, born in 1919, whose family moved from Toronto to New York in 1929, by which time he had already started learning to play the saxophone - first an alto and then a tenor. He started working in swing bands in the late '30s, notably those of Bunny Berigan and Artie Shaw
