ROY ELDRIDGE bebop jazz trumpet 1935-1941 swing CD

This is “ROY ELDRIDGE 1935-1941,” a CD in its original shrinkwrapped packaging. It was issued as part of the Jazz Roots Series by Saar srl in 1994. Roy Eldridge (nicknamed "Little Jazz") was a jazz trumpet player. His use of harmony, including the use of tritone substitutions, his virtuosic solos and his strong influence on Dizzy Gillespie, define him as one of the most exciting musicians of the Swing Era and a precursor of bebop. It has been said that "from the mid-30s onwards, he had superseded Louis Armstrong as the exemplar of modern 'hot' trumpet playing,” becoming a huge influence on players like Gillespie and Charlie Parker. Later, Eldridge joined Gene Krupa's Orchestra, and was successfully featured with rookie singer Anita O'Day on a series of recordings including the novelty hit "Let Me Off Uptown".
