Frank Motley Dual Trumpeter - Gotham Recording Star

Frank Motley produced some of the most raucous and exciting music of all time. This trumpeter got his first lessons from Dizzy Gillespie -- they hail from the same South Carolina town. He also played trombone, and, as the title indicates, two trumpets at once! This disc features his bluesy and varied first recordings (where Motley is backed by a small swing band with strong blues roots) and contains six previously unreleased takes.
