1920's Dixieland jazz. Bix Beiderbecke, Red Nichols, Jabbo Smith
Is anyone familiar with American jazz trumpeter of the 20's/30's Jack Purvis?
Copyin' Louis (1929)
Mental Strain At Dawn (1929)
When You're Feeling Blue (1930)
I recently discovered his work while playing some random 78 RPM records bequeathed to me by my grandfather. I am in awe of the man's talent--his recordings are sheer masterpieces! |

Just finished listening to this cut...Great playing, here is a very interesting write up on him from 2014. If most of this is true, this guy led a crazy life! Wow, some stuff posted on YouTube, anxious to hear some more. Thanks for sharing this.

I would love to see a movie made about Purvis's life. I had discovered a hot jazz recording from the mid-30's on which Purvis actually sings (rare indeed):

Well, I've not listened to it yet, but I found an LP today By Elmer Bernstein titled "BLUES & BRASS" The trumpets are:
Pete Candoli
Maynard Ferguson
Ray Linn
Mannie Klein
Conte Candoli
Conrad Gozzo
The LP is in near perfect condition, I uh, paid $9.00 for it, I hope it was worth it!

There is no one "best" piece for trumpet, but there are a few that are unsurpassed. The septet by Camille Saint-Saëns is one of those. I have been listening to this for decades and it never gets old.
Septet for Piano, Trumpet, String Quartet and Double Bass in E flat major, Op. 65

Saw him live with the orchestra a couple of times back in the 70's. Increadible orchestrations and playing. _________________ "I'm an engineer, which means I think I know a whole bunch of stuff I really don't."

Trying to find as many Carl Saunders recordings as possible. His Out of the Blue album is wonderful as is Be Bop Big Band and A Beautiful Friendship album with the Gary Urwin Jazz Orchestra. _________________ Bach Stradivarius 37 (1971)

After seeing Hans Zimmer on tour last weekend I was intrigued by the lead Cello player. Her name is Tina Guo and she is really outstanding. Bought several of her albums and just keep listening. What a great find! _________________ Bb - Schilke B6, SB4-MG Soloiste
