Here’s a trumpet player we’ve heard from before. He was a favorite of my dad’s. He’s also a favorite of mine. He’s loud and powerful. He plays at just below a blatting level, but keeps in control with some of the most intricate music.
He performed at halftime of the first Super Bowl and owned his own New Orleans jazz club.
So get ready to hear a musician who could shift gears to play many styles of music, even being critiqued for that skill, in Volume 226: Hirt's Dixieland Horn.
More information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.
