John Henry Windhurst (November 5, 1926 – October 2, 1981)^[1] was an American jazz trumpet player, who played primarily in the swing, big-band, and dixieland styles. Windhurst was a self-taught musician and known for his solos; he considered Bix Beiderbecke, Bobby Hackett, Wild Bill Davison, and Bunny Berigan among his influences. His playing style was considered to be a mixture of the delicate playing style of Bobby Hackett with his own feathery vibrato and mobility.^[2] Ruby Braff has cited Windhurst as one of his biggest inspirations as a jazz artist.^[2]
