His autogyro dropped from an altitude of only 150 ft., crashed & killed Pilot Pierre Martin. Hastily...
...well-advertised Whitemans, Lombardos and Vallees, but an inner circle of such amazing virtuosi as Saxophonists Jimmy Dorsey, Coleman Hawkins, Frank Trum-bauer, Adrian Rollini; Trumpeters Louis Armstrong, Red Nichols, the late Bix Beiderbecke; Trombonists Miff Mole, Jack Teagarden, Tommy Dorsey.
