The article focuses on the persons related to music. Earle Warren was best known for his incisive, stellar lead alto work with the Count Basie Orchestra of the mid-1930s and 1940s. Warren's role in this loose-jointed, rift-driven caldron was apparently simple. He steered the reed section via his shaping of the attack on theft ensemble lines, becoming what Leonard Feather once characterized as "the virtual leader of the band." He also doubled on clarinet and sang, usually ballads. He led some groups beginning in the mid-1940s, managed some pop acts and worked as musical director at the famed Apollo and Howard theaters during the 1950.
