George Morrow (August 15, 1925 – May 26, 1992 ) was a jazz bassist. Although most closely associated with Max Roach and Clifford Brown, Morrow also appears on recordings by Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt. Morrow was born in Pasadena, California. After leaving the military, he played with Charlie Parker, Sonny Criss, Teddy Edwards, Hampton Hawes and other musicians who were in L.A. He then spent five years in San Francisco (1948–53), often appearing at the Bop City jazz club and working with Dexter Gordon, Wardell Gray, Billie Holiday and Sonny Clark. According to Roach, Morrow had been "free-lancing around San Francisco clubs" when they hired him after rejecting two other bassists. He appeared on all of the studio albums by the Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet. After the band dissolved due to the deaths of Brown and Richie Powell in a car accident, Morrow continued recording with Roach's band. He also worked with Anita O'Day in the 1970s before joining the Disney World house band in 1976. He died in Orlando, Florida.
