Wikipedia has it spelled Salvador. There could be some Spanish blood in his background. Not uncommon. One of my Italian aunts through marriage had some European Spanish blood. Her great grandfather was a Catholic Priest who fathered 6 kids with his Spanish housekeeper!!!!!! True story! |

The funny thing is her daughter found some papers years ago with the names of my aunt's grandfather and the rest of his siblings. Some of the males had different last names. When my cousin asked her about it my aunt avoided answering and would change the subject.
Years later shortly before my aunt passed away she spilled the beans about everything.
I'm guessing the priest fathering kids in Rome back in the 1860's or 70's wasn't all that unusual. |

| Apparently not. Things were kept very quiet with those types of goings on, & obviously with no internet, radio or other communication, it was easy to hold things like that close to the vest (or vestments)! |

Harry James is one of my favorite trumpet players that isn't talked about enough. Miles Davis idolized him.

Back to the original thread, Harry had it all; chops, technique, sound, range, powerful projection, intonation, valve smears and tone bending, and on top of all that, musicality. But on top of that, I hear an element in his playing no one has mentioned, yet.
I have finally given in to the 21st century, and Sirius in my cars, and locked into the 40's Junction channel. The thing that grabs me when Harry comes up is his ARTICULATION PALETTE!. It is as if he is making his horn sing the words.
I think that is what no one else I can think of has that sets him apart.
