Paul Tanner

Paul Tanner (born October 15 1917) is an American musician.

Tanner gained fame by playing trombone with Glenn Miller's band (1938-1942). He later worked as a studio musician in Hollywood. He was a professor at UCLA for many years, and also authored or co-authored several important academic and popular histories related to jazz.

He also developed and played the electrotheremin. The electrotheremin is featured in several songs by The Beach Boys, with Tanner himself playing the instrument; most notably "Good Vibrations", "Wild Honey", and "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times".
