Description: | This flashy B-flat American-style trumpet was designed to appeal to jazz and session players and was an attempt by Boosey & Hawkes to compete with US instrument makers. Its art deco styling evokes the Jazz Age. This model was endorsed by Grisha Farfel, whose name is engraved on the edge of the bell. Farfel became famous playing with the Billy Cotton Band Show in London during the 1950s. The Billy Cotton Band Show was a very popular variety programme that featured music, dance and comedy. It was broadcast on radio and later on TV by the BBC. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Horniman Museum and Gardens | Rights holder: | Horniman Museum, London | Subjects: | work Leisure | Temporal: | 1963 | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
