[Dixielandjazz] Gene Kupa's Band

[Ron L'Herault]

Drat,

I don't have cable and wanted to see that movie but could not find anyplace
that rented it either.  I don't even think I found a place that was selling
it when I searched last year.  Anyone willing to tape/DVD it?

Watching TCM tonight, an old movie, "Ball of Fire" was  on. In it Barbara 
Stanwyck sang "Dram Bogie" with Gene Kupa's  band. 1941. There was a young
back 
trumpet player with the band. He played  one solo. I noticed in the next
take, 
after the tune, where Kupa is playing  a match box, the man was not sitting
in 
the trumpet section. Anyway, does  anyone know who this man is/was? Did Kupa

have any black musician's in his  band?
 
Just curious.
