John L Posted July 30, 2022 Report Posted July 30, 2022 Jack McVea had a trumpet player in 1946-1947 named (it would seem) Joe "Red" Kelly. Discographies seem to list this name alternatively as John "Red" Kelly and Joe "Red" Kelly. The new Mosaic Black & White Set lists the trumpet player on the "Open the Door Richard" session as "John "Red" Kelly" but then lists the trumpet player on the immediate follow-up session for Black & White as "Joe Kelly." Presumably, this is the same person? It sounds like the same guy in both sessions to me. He gets off a really nice solo on Bulgin' Eyes from the Open the Door Richard session despite flubbing a few notes. Quote
Niko Posted July 30, 2022 Report Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) John is almost certainly a typo, at least it must be the same guy... I collected some info about him here Edited July 30, 2022 by Niko Quote
