House of Hard Bop

Trumpet player Booker Little (1938-1961). He left an indelible impression despite the fact he died way to early due to an incurable kidney disorder. His fine tone, technique and phrasing accompanied by a large harmonic perception are still impressive. Luckily he made a lot of recordings in a short time. Today albums under his own name from 1958 and 1961 include tenor saxophone player George Coleman.
