Frank Rosolino (August 20, 1926 – November 26, 1978) was an American jazz trombonist born in Detroit, Michigan. He was a prominent figure in the jazz scene, performing with big bands led by Bob Chester, Glen Gray, Tony Pastor, Herbie Fields, Gene Krupa, and Stan Kenton. After his tenure with Kenton, Rosolino settled in Los Angeles and played with Howard Rumsey's Lighthouse All-Stars from 1954 to 1960.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Rosolino was active in the Los Angeles recording studios, collaborating with renowned artists such as Frank Sinatra, Billy Eckstine, Sarah Vaughan, Tony Bennett, Peggy Lee, Mel Tormé, Michel Legrand, and Quincy Jones. He was also part of "Trombones Unlimited" with Mike Barone, recording pop-style albums for Liberty Records. Rosolino appeared in films like "I Want to Live!" (1958) and "Sweet Smell of Success" (1957) and was a regular on "The Steve Allen Show," as well as a guest on "The Tonight Show" and "The Merv Griffin Show." Known for his scat-singing, he was featured on Gene Krupa's hit "Lemon Drop."

During the 1970s, he toured with Quincy Jones and the Grammy Award-winning group Supersax. Despite his professional success, Rosolino's personal life was troubled. On November 26, 1978, he tragically shot his two sons, killing one and blinding the other, before taking his own life.
