Billy Butterfield – Thank You For A Lovely Evening
“He was one of the most respected and beloved of jazz trumpeters since the 1930s,” said Leonard Feather, jazz critic for The Times. “He had a pure tone and lyrical style often compared to the late Bobby Hackett. He was a very melodic player, not a composer but a trumpet player with a long track record.”
