Jimmy Granata is a name from the past. He was  a native Hoosier and
spent the last part of his life in a small town south of Indianapolis.
He made a number of gigs for the Indianapolis Jazz Club. He was
notorious for the bilious state of his instrument, which was almost
always held together by rubber bands.
