| Late (1909-73) jazz drum pioneer who, as part of the Austin High Gang, emulated Louis Armstrong and Joe "King" Oliver, creating what came to be known as the Chicago style of jazz. He performed with Benny Goodman and young trumpeter Bix Biederbecke, and his own band was one of the most popular swing bands of its day until he was arrested on a (some say trumped-up) drug charge.
