Post number seven in this thread posed a musical band personnel question.

Answer:
His name was Gail Brockman, and he was a native of the hometown of
trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, in the Carolina states.

Gail Brockman, trumpet, and tenor sax player Gene Ammons
both came up through the big bands of
Earl Hines and Billy Eckstein.
They recorded "Red Top" amongst other tunes
in Chicago in 1947.

I can't find Mr. Brockman's date of death;
even his birth year, 1910, is approximate.
