[Dixielandjazz] CD Review - NY Times

[David Livingston]

A number of artists have experimented with electronics
in their horn playing over the years. Being a trumpet
player myself, Don Ellis and Bill Chase come to mind.
They were playing electric trumpets (or using effects)
in the early 70s. I think Don Ellis might have been
experimenting with electronics even earlier.

In the early 80s a trumpet player named Allen Vizzuti
cut a few albums heavy with electronic effects.
