El saxofonista de jazz, compositor y arreglista Herb Geller nació el 2 de noviembre de 1928 en Los Ángeles, California Inspirado por su madre, que tocaba el piano durante las proyecciones teatrales de películas mudas, Herb recibió un saxofón alto a los 8 años. Dos años más tarde, aprendió también a tocar el clarinete. Asistió al Dorsey High School y se unió a la banda de la escuela, en la que también estaba el futuro icono del jazz Eric Dolphy. Después de ver actuar a Benny Carter cuando tenía 14 años, decidió dedicarse a la música. El primer compromiso profesional en directo de Herb Geller fue como miembro de la banda del violinista Joe Venuti. Inspirado por la música de Charlie Parker, Benny Carter y Johnny Hodges, se trasladó a Nueva York y tocó con bandas dirigidas por Claude Thornhill, Jerry Wald, Lucky Millinder y Jack Fina. Regresó a Los Ángeles en 1952 y se unió a la orquesta de Billy May. La carrera de Herb Geller cobró impulso durante esta época y empezó a tocar y grabar con artistas como Chet Baker, Stan Kenton, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Maynard Ferguson y Shorty Rogers. Grabó varios álbumes como líder durante este periodo, entre ellos Herb Geller Plays (1954), Fire in the West (1957) y Stax of Sax (1958). En 1962 se trasladó a Europa, donde se instaló en Hamburgo (Alemania) y se incorporó a la plantilla de la emisora pública Nordeutschen Rundfunk, donde permaneció 28 años. Siguió grabando y haciendo giras por Estados Unidos, en constante evolución como músico. Su producción discográfica se ralentizó en las décadas de 1960 y 1970, pero en la década de 1980 volvió a la palestra y publicó una serie de álbumes muy bien recibidos, como Hot House (1985), Birdland Stomp (1987), A Jazz Song Book (1989), To Benny & Johnny with Love from Herb Geller (2002), Herb Geller at the Movies (2007) y An Evening with Herb Geller & The Roberto Magris Trio (2009). Herb Geller falleció el 19 de diciembre de 2013.
