W. C. Handy Composer (1873–1958)

Journalists call him the Father of the Blues. This is not quite true: he was actually the first to write down blues tunes, which is not the same thing at all. Best known as the composer of St. Louis Blues (1941).

Eldridge Trumpet, fluegelhorn (b. 1911)

Though not so well known now, Eldridge was a most important trumpeter in the 30s, doing a lot towards developing the trumpet from the point to which Armstrong had taken it in the 20s. His fame was widest during the years 1941–43 when he was with the Gene Krupa orchestra.
