| 释义 |
For other persons named Don Murray, see Don Murray. Don Murray (June 7, 1904 – June 2, 1929) was an early jazz clarinet and saxophone player. BackgroundDon Murray was born in Joliet, Illinois, and attended high school in Chicago. In his teens he made a name for himself as one of the best young jazz clarinetists and saxophonists in the city. In 1923 he recorded with the New Orleans Rhythm Kings; according to Rhythm Kings leader Paul Mares, Murray was not a regular member of the band, but was a friend who sometimes sat in with them. Murray also made early recordings with Muggsy Spanier. He then joined the Detroit, Michigan based band of Jean Goldkette, with whom he remained until 1927. It was here that he mentored the young Jimmy Dorsey. After a brief stint with Adrian Rollini's band, during which he contributed to several highly regarded recordings by Bix Beiderbecke, Murray was hired by Ted Lewis. Ted Lewis said that Murray was the greatest clarinetist he ever had in his band—high praise indeed since Jimmy Dorsey and Benny Goodman had also been in Lewis's band. Murray can be heard in the Ted Lewis film Is Everybody Happy? (1929), which is considered a "lost film," although Vitaphone disks are available. Don Murray died in 1929 at a Los Angeles hospital after injuries sustained in a freak automobile accident. Apparently, he was standing on the running board of a moving roadster and fell; he struck the back of his head on the pavement and was then hospitalized with serious head injury. Donald L. Murray is buried at Memorial Park Cemetery in Skokie, IL. He was 24 at the time of his death. {{Clarinet}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Murray, Don}} 14 : American jazz clarinetists|American jazz saxophonists|American male saxophonists|Musicians from Joliet, Illinois|Musicians from Chicago|1904 births|1929 deaths|Dixieland clarinetists|Dixieland saxophonists|20th-century American musicians|20th-century saxophonists|Jazz musicians from Illinois|20th-century male musicians|Male jazz musicians |
