Thomas J.
"Tommy" Ladnier (May 28, 1900 – June 4, 1939) was an American jazz
trumpeter. Clarinetist/writer Mezz Mezzrow rated him second only to Louis
Armstrong.
Ladnier moved
to New
Orleans
in his youth. He was influenced by early New Orleans trumpet/cornet players Bunk Johnson
and Joe "King" Oliver. About 1919 he moved to Chicago , where he started making records in
1924. In 1926 he moved to New York City to join the Fletcher Henderson
Orchestra. Two years later Ladnier toured Europe with Sam Wooding's band, then returned
to the States to rejoin Fletcher Henderson, and then played in Noble Sissle's
Orchestra, with whom he again toured Europe .
In the 1930s Ladnier co-led a band with Sidney Bechet called The New Orleans
Feetwarmers, with whom Ladnier made some of his best recordings.

died of a heart attack in New York City at the age of 39.

(c. 1896, Arkansas or Kentucky – June 24, 1928 , Chicago ) was an American jazz clarinetist,

Morton and W.C. Handy in 1923. In 1924 he played with King Oliver. From 1923 to
