Roy Eldrige was famous for his passion to competitions with other trumpeters. I think that his music is very similar to his character as person. I think best word for his music is – rollicking. Just to see expression on his face after a particularly successful chord, when he glances to other musicians to find out whether all noticed how steep the sound he produced and then blow away even better one.
