Who is the trumpet player who would ever dare to say: "I play better than Roy Eldridge?"

I wonder who the guitarist is, and who the rhythm section are. Of course, Roy was one of jazz's originals on trumpet, and is both missed, and inimitable. Thanks for the upload!

I heard this cat with gene krupa's ensemble, he sounds like lester young if he played the trumpet.

Nice voice too

Beautiful ballad playing AND singing(!) by my favorite, Roy "Little Jazz" Eldridge.

Thanks.

Black trumpeter Roy Eldridge, who arrived in New York in 1930 from Pennsylvania, heralded a new age (the age of bebop), although he played in swing bands. Eldridge initially emulated Louis Armstrong albeit adding a sense of the narrative dimension to the melodic improvisation
