Jazz Trumpet Journal #20 October 1992




Jazz Trumpet Journal #20, I had a chance to interview the legendary Eugene "Snooky" Young in the Fall of 1992. We met at the parking lot of the Local 47 Musician's Union Hall and sat in his white Cadillac while the tape rolled and covered a variety of subjects regarding his marvelous career. He was also nice enough to give me a few photographs, including this rare one of himself with trumpeter Johnny Audino.
