| 1999 - Al Hirt, traditional jazz trumpeter from New Orleans, Louisiana passed away on this day at the age of 76. 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. |
