A little good blues, Charles! Emmett Berry 1961.mov

[2nmo]

people knowing people - my dad was a fan of Emmet and bought a trumpet from him in the 1940s - that trumpet is still in use today (my brother-in-law plays it now). My niece and my son learned trumpet on it (my son now does jazz violin).

I hadn't thought about Emmet Berry in 40 years - then I see and hear these recordings and immediately recognize the playing style from hearing him in my childhood. A big thanks out to folks who post these great recordings.

Your dad was Earle Warren? Cool! I was good friends with & played drums for Preston Love. Preston replaced your dad with Basie in 1945. Preston absolutely idolized Earle and to the end of life sang his praises to the mountain tops.

Somebody once said, that a sax player should express something with every note. Warren is exactly doing this !

A very under rated trumpet player along with Earle Warren on alto.
