This biography charts the life and career of the trumpeter, Roy Eldridge. New light is shed on the various occasions when he unwillingly became entangled with gangsters, his uneven working relationships and the hurdles he had to overcome when working in all-white ensembles.
A biography of the spectacular trumpeter, Roy "Little Jazz" Eldridge, whose style is universally recognised as the all-important link between the playing of Louis Armstrong and the achievements of modernist, Dizzy Gillespie. The indignities he experienced and overcame during the 1940s while working in otherwise all-white ensembles proved he was as bold a social pioneer as he was a performer. New light is shed on the various occasions when he unwillingly became entangled with gangsters, his uneven working relationships and the hurdles he had to overcome when working in all-white ensembles.
