Answer 1

Chick Webb was a drummer and bandleader in the swing era known for energetic performances, but playing the trombone is not true of him.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement about Chick Webb that is not true is c) He played the trombone. Chick Webb was indeed a drummer and bandleader, and he was a key figure in the swing era. Moreover, Webb's band was renowned for its energetic performances, which attracted large audiences who were eager to see Black entertainers play jazz. However, there is no historical evidence to support the claim that he played the trombone; his primary instrument was drums.
