Comments
Dixieland and swing trumpeter and occasional vocalist starting in 1975. One of the few jazz musicians whose best work is said to have come after he turned 70 - an assessment with which Cheatham agreed. He played in McKinney's Cotton Pickers from 1930 into 1932, whereupon he became the lead trumpet for the Cab Calloway organization through 1939.
