[Dixielandjazz] Clyde Hurley

[lrg4003 at aol.com]

Clyde Hurley was a trumpeter for Glenn Miller and played the featured trumpet solo on "In the Mood" and
"Tuxedo Junction" among other pieces.  He recorded with Matlock and also with Ralph Sutton and Edmond Hall in the Club Hangover sessions.  I suspect those are still available.....

An accordion-player friend of mine is a total and absolute fan of Ruby Braff and has acquired nearly every Cd of his recordings and has spent hours listening to his phrasing and style. She phones me up and says that she has discovered another player who, to her at least, has a quality to his playing that sounds amazingly like Braff. I listened to the recording over the phone and, myself being a Braff fan, think I'd have to largely agree with her. 
 
Here's the amazing thing about her discovery - - -the trumpet player was Clyde Hurley, performing a solo on a recording with Matty Matlock. The tune is "What's the Use". Man is it played "hot" !! 
 
 Here's the Question: What can anyone tell us about Clyde Hurley, and can we find more of of his solos on other available recordings?
