Thread Name: Paul Whiteman-King of Jazz?
Subject: RE: Paul Whiteman-King of Jazz?
But here's something that just came to me: a lot of the famous white musicians like Kid Ory, Jack Teagarden, Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey played trombones, while a number of the black musicians like Louie Armstrong, Miles Davis, and Dizzy Gilespie played trumpets. Does an African voice sound more like a trumpet, and a European voice sound more like a trombone?
                      I'm sure one could make too much of this, but it is kind of an interesting side-line event.
