Who was Monty Budwig?

Monty Rex Budwig was a West Coast jazz double bassist. He was born in Pender, Nebraska. He began playing bass during high school, continuing in the military band while he was enlisted in the Air Force.

In 1954 he moved to Los Angeles and went onto record and perform with many notable jazz musicians.

He is probably best known for his playing with Vince Guaraldi, but there has been some controversy as to whether or not he was the bassist heard on the Charlie Brown Christmas Album. He released one recording as a leader.
