But I heard Krupa's Old Rockin' Chair's Got Me on satellite radio today and
the trumpet player was a monster!  Who, pray tell, was it?

Dear Bill,
Without more detailed information, I would guess that the "Rockin' Chair" by
Gene Krupa and His Orchestra you heard would be the one with the great Roy
Eldridge featured throughout on trumpet.
Recorded for Columbia on 2 July 1941.
Playing it now. Magnificent!
Kind regards,
Bill.
