Booker Little, a name etched in the annals of jazz history, left an indelible mark on the genre with his virtuosity and innovation. Born on April 2, 1938, in Memphis, Tennessee, Little displayed prodigious musical talent from a young age. His early exposure to the rich musical tapestry of Memphis, steeped in blues, gospel, and jazz, laid the foundation for his unique approach to music.
Little’s affinity for the trumpet became evident early on, and by his teenage years, he was already making waves in the local music scene. His skillful technique and inventive improvisations set him apart, catching the attention of seasoned musicians and catapulting him into the realm of professional jazz. Here are the Booker Little Tracks and Albums.
