Lammar Wright, Jr. (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Lammar Wright, Jr. (September 26, 1924, Kansas City, Missouri - July 8, 1983, Los Angeles) was an American jazz trumpeter. He was the son of trumpeter Lammar Wright, Sr.. Wright's credits are not always clear because many records do not append the suffix "Jr." or "Sr." to the player's name. Furthermore, father and son would sometimes substitute for each other on some recordings. Lammar Wright Jr. worked with Lionel Hampton from 1943 to 1946, then followed with stints in Dizzy Gillespie's band (1947) and as the principal soloist for Charlie Barnet.
