John Purvis (December 11, 1906 – March 30, 1962) was an American jazz musician.[1]
Purvis was best known as a trumpet player and the composer of Dismal Dan and Down Georgia Way.[2] He was one of the earliest trumpeters to incorporate the innovations pioneered by Louis Armstrong in the late 1920s.[3] He also played trombone and on occasion a number of other instruments professionally (including harp).
