マイノリティの音楽に大衆性を付した世紀のエンターティナー （1901～1971）
1901年ニューオリンズ生まれ。地域と人種において限定的だったジャズを、大衆に向けて紹介したトランペッター。“ポップス”、あるいは大きな口に由来する“サッチモ”の愛称で親しまれた。少年期にピストル発砲事件を起こし、収容された更正施設で教官からコルネットを習う。17年の紅灯街ストーリーヴィル閉鎖でシカゴへ移ったキング・オリヴァー（tp）の後任として、キッド・オリー楽団で活動を開始。シカゴへ追ったオリヴァーのもとで初録音を経験し、フレッチャー・ヘンダーソン楽団で強力なアタックなどその陽気な個性を確立した。独立し、ホット5やホット7、ビッグ・バンドやオールスターズを運営し、大衆にアピールし、何曲ものヒットを放った。71年没。
