Al Hirt (November 7, 1922 April 27, 1999) was an American trumpeter and bandleader.He is best remembered for his million selling recordings of "Java", and the accompanying album, Honey in the Horn (1963). His nicknames included 'Jumbo' and 'The Round Mound of Sound'. Alois Maxwell Hirt was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, the son of a police officer. At the age of six, he was given his first trumpet, which had been purchased at a local pawnshop. He would play in the Junior Police Band with the children of Alcide Nunez, and by the age of 16, Hirt was playing professionally, often with his friend Pete Fountain. During this time, he was hired to play at the local horse racing track, beginning a six-decade connection to the sport. In 1940, Hirt went to Cincinnati, Ohio to study at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music with Dr. Frank Simon (a former soloist with the John Philip Sousa Orchestra).

Hirt plays a brass instrument to produce what sounds suspiciously like jazz. From the Dec. 16, 1970 episode of Cash's show. This clip is mostly for Al Hirt fans. Just because I have no idea who he is doesn't mean he doesn't have a passionate following. Addendum: The following details from an Al Hirt fan just arrived this morning: The first song by Al Hirt and his band is a very fast version of the country song "Louisiana Man." The second song by Al Hirt and his band is an extremely fast version of the classic Jelly Roll Morton Dixieland song "Wolverine Blues.". + Informações
