James Edward Nottingham, Jr. (December 15, 1925[1] – November 16, 1978),[2] also known as Sir James,[3] was an American jazz trumpeter and flugelhorn player.[3]
He was born in New York, United States,[1] and started performing professionally in 1943 in Brooklyn with Cecil Payne[1][3] and Max Roach.[3]
He served in the Navy in 1944-45, where he played in Willie Smith's band.[1] It was while working with Lionel Hampton (1945–47), that he earned his reputation as a high-note player.[3] Following this, in 1947 he worked with Charlie Barnet,[3] Lucky Millinder (and again c. 1950),[3] Count Basie (1948–50), and Herbie Fields.[1] He played Latin jazz from 1951–53, and was hired by CBS as a staff musician in 1954.[1]
He worked for more than 20 years at CBS, and played jazz music in his spare time, co-leading a band with Budd Johnson (1962),[3] and as a sideman with many orchestras, including those of Dizzy Gillespie,[3] Oliver Nelson, Benny Goodman, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis (1966–70), and Clark Terry (1974-75).[1] His only recordings as a leader were four songs for Seeco Records in 1957.[2]
Jimmy Nottingham died in November 1978, at the age of 52.[1]
