Biography
American jazz trumpeter

One of the earliest bebop jazz trumpeters, he was known for lightning-fast fingers and very high notes. What is generally not known is the influence (along with Fats Navarro) that he had on younger hard bop trumpeters.
Howard McGhee was raised in Detroit. During his career, he played in bands led by Lionel Hampton, [Andy Kirk (both briefly and successively in 1941), Count Basie (also for a short period) and Charlie Barnet. With Coleman Hawkins in California (1945) and stayed until 1947. Away from the scene for spells in the 1950s, re-emerged in the next decade.
