  Does anyone know of well-known jazz artists who played left-handed, both natural like Corky Cornelius, or forced by injury like Wingy Manone and Johnny Long? Thanks and Cheers.

  Yes, there was bassist Earl May, who played with, among others, pianist Billy Taylor. And there have been several left-handed drummers--early bopper Charlie Smith was one. Barry Zweig, fine guitarist in the L.A. area, is also a southpaw.
