| 1922 - Al Hirt was born on this day. Traditional jazz trumpeter from New Orleans, Louisiana. Hirt was internationally famous and originally trained in the symphony. He was also considered a virtuoso, and known for his physical presence. He played sparingly with Pete Fountain, and was a member of the WWL-Big 870 house band in the early days called the 'Dawnbusters'. For a time he owned a club and performed on Bourbon Street. Hirt's brother Gerald 'Slick' Hirt was a tombonist and played in New Orleans with Al for a time in the 1960's. He passed away in 1999 at the age of 76. |
