Volume 197: Jazzy James

Back to one of my father’s favorite trumpet players. This time, a little later in his career. It’s as if the years have slightly mellowed his sound, and he blends in more with the band.

But there’s almost never any trouble recognizing when this musician is front and center, because he had one of the smoothest sounds around.

So, get ready to hear one of the best known and easily recognized trumpet players ever in Volume 197: Jazzy James.
