Albert W. "Happy" Caldwell (sometimes incorrectly spelled Cauldwell) (July 25, 1903 in Chicago – December 29, 1978 in New York City)[1] was an American jazz clarinetist and tenor saxophonist.
Caldwell began on clarinet at age 16,[1] playing in the Eighth Illinois Regimental Band and soon after in an Army band. He studied to be a pharmacist but eventually gave up his medicinal studies for jazz.
He worked with Bernie Young early in the 1920s in Chicago,[1] where he recorded for the first time in 1923. Around this time he also began doubling on tenor saxophone.[1] In the middle of the 1920s he played with Mamie Smith's Jazz Hounds, Bobby Brown's Syncopaters, Elmer Snowden, Billy Fowler, Thomas Morris, Willie Gant, and Cliff Jackson.[1] In 1929, he recorded with Louis Armstrong.[1]
In the 1930s, Caldwell played with Vernon Andrade, Tiny Bradshaw, and Louis Metcalfe,[1] and led his own band, the Happy Pals, in the middle of the decade. He played at Minton's in New York City for a short time, then moved to Philadelphia, where he played with Eugene Slappy and Charlie Gaines. He returned to New York and put together a new ensemble in the 1940s, continuing to work in small settings for several decades. In the 1970s, he played with Jimmy Rushing, including on international tours.
