- Charles Edward Dixon (December 31, 1898 in Jersey City, New Jersey – December 6, 1940, New York City) was an American jazz banjoist. Between 1921 and 1923, Dixon was a member of Johnny Dunn's Original Jazz Hounds, one of several Dunn-led line-ups that recorded in New York around that time for the Columbia label. Dixon played in local ensembles in Boston and New York before becoming a member of Sam Wooding's orchestra in 1922. Wooding had been in Dunn's band at the same time. In 1923, he joined up with Fletcher Henderson, playing and writing arrangements for him until 1928 and continuing to write charts for Henderson after his departure. He played with Henderson in both small and big band formats, and recorded in Henderson's pseudonymous groups such as the Dixie Stompers. Among the musicians he played with while under Wooding and Henderson were Kaiser Marshall, Louis Armstrong, Ralph Escudero, Coleman Hawkins, Don Redman, and Elmer Chambers. He also played in small ensembles accompanying singers such as Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Trixie Smith, and Alberta Hunter in the 1920s. In the 1930s, he led a band which accompanied dancer Cora LaRedd, and also arranged and composed for Chick Webb, including Dixon's arrangements for the latter of "That Naughty Waltz" and "Harlem Congo". Unlike most of the banjoists of his era, he never switched to guitar, and his banjo work is often difficult to hear on record. (en)
- Charles Edward "Charlie" Dixon (Jersey City, 31 december 1898 – New York City, 6 december 1940) was een Amerikaanse banjo-speler, gitarist en arrangeur in de jazz. Dixon speelde in lokale groepen in Boston en New York en speelde vanaf 1922 korte tijd in de band van Sam Wooding. In 1923 werd hij lid van het orkest van Fletcher Henderson, waarvoor hij, ook nadat hij de band in 1928 verlaten had, arrangementen schreef. Met Henderson maakte hij ook opnames, zowel in kleine als grote groepen en veel van die nummers waren zijn arrangementen. Bij Henderson speelde hij onder meer met Don Redman en Coleman Hawkins. In de jaren twintig begeleidde Dixon zangeressen als Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Trixie Smith en Alberta Hunter in de Georgia Jazz Band, naast Louis Armstrong en Fletcher Henderson. In de jaren dertig had hij een band die onder meer de danseres Cora LaRedd begeleidde en arrangeerde hij voor Chick Webb. In zijn loopbaan heeft Dixon overwegend banjo gespeeld, maar er bestaan ook opnames waarop hij gitaar speelt. (nl)
