[Dixielandjazz] Jacquet

[Hal Vickery]

His obit in the Washington Post gives the pronunciation as jack-KETT.
Chicago jazz DJ Dick Buckley has also always pronounced his name that way.
I've also always heard his first name pronounced the same as the correct
pronunciation of the state in which I live:  ill-i-NOY.

Dear listmates,

Once again I have a question about the pronunciation of a name. I've heard 
two quite different versions of ILLINOIS JACQUET.
1. Jackay   and 2. Jacket.
Which one is most used in the USA or even better: how did Jacquet himself 
pronounce his name?
