[Dixielandjazz] Another jazz amputee

[Robert Greenwood]

Apologies if anyone has already mentioned him, but one
other jazz amputee is the St Louis trumpeter Theodore
“Wingie” Carpenter. For full details of his career see
John Chilton’s “Who’s Who of Jazz”. Strange fact:
Carpenter had his arm amputated following an accident.
The surgeon who performed the operation was the uncle
of fellow-trumpeter Aldolphus Anthony Doc Cheatham.
