Mr. Trumpet : The Trials, Tribulations, and Triumph of Bunny Berigan, Hardcov.... Mr. Trumpet : The Trials, Tribulations, and Triumph of Bunny Berigan, Hardcover by Zirpolo, Michael P., ISBN 0810881527, ISBN-13 9780810881525, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The life of jazz trumpeter Roland Bernard "Bunny" Berigan (1) resembles nothing less than an ancient Greek tragedy: a heroic figure who rises from obscurity to dizzying heights, touches greatness, becomes ensnared by circumstances, and comes to a disastrous early end. In this panoramic examination of Berigan's personal and professional lives, Mr. Trumpet maps the great musician's role in what was a truly golden age of American popular music and jazz, offering close looks at some of his greatest performances and film work, comprehensive listings of all known broadcast recordings made by Berigan and his bands, as well as numerous previously unpublished photos of the great jazz artist.
