[TPIN] Jazz Trumpeter Bio Recommendations

[James Calore]

That's a good one!
I had meant to put that one the list and forgot about it. I see his 
name in almost every bio I read. Wingy, he had his arm severed in a 
train accident when he was young. Everyone who played with him, loved 
him. And he spanned the generations from Bix and Bunny to the NYC jazz 
scene.

Thank, Rich!
