About Alvin Alcorn
Alvin Alcorn (September 7, 1912 – July 17, 2003) was an American New Orleans jazz trumpeter. Alcorn was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. He learned music from his brother, though not much is known about his youth. He played freelance in New Orleans in the late 1920s and early 1930s; he appears with Armand J. Piron's Sunny South Syncopators in 1930-31. He toured with Don Albert from 1932-37, but this ensemble only did one recording date and Alcorn does not solo on it. Read more on Last.fmSource: Last.fm
