Thomas Jefferson
was one of the top New Orleans trumpeters of the 1960s, a lyrical and melodic player who also sang in a style that hinted at
Louis Armstrong

Dreaming Down the River to New Orleans
(from 1962) features
Jefferson
(who takes four vocals) with three different groups; it is a pity that his name is not listed as leader, for he is the star throughout.
