Ray Perry (February 25, 1915 – 1950) was an American jazz violinist and saxophonist. Perry was born in 1915 to a musical family and began playing the violin at a young age, while his brothers Joe and Bay became a baritonist and drummer, respectively. Perry sang during his violin solos, inspiring Slam Stewart to continue the practice on bass. 〔 〕 He performed more frequently on alto saxophone. He worked bread and butter gigs with the best in the business, including Dean Earl (1935), Clarence Carter (1937–39, not the R&B singer), Blanche Calloway (1940), and Lionel Hampton (1940–43). Despite his short career, Ray Perry worked with many jazz artists, including: *Shadow Wilson *Illinois Jacquet (1946–47, 1950) *Vernon Alley *J. C. Heard (1946) *Joe Newman *Fred Beckett *Sabby Lewis (1948) *Sir Charles Thompson *Irving Ashby Many of his records failed to gain a prominent following, but he was very successful until poor health prevented him from touring. Two of Perry's albums remain popular - ''Jumpin' Jacquet'' and ''50 Sublimes Chanteurs de Jazz''. Some of his more famous songs are ''Flyin' Home'', ''How High the Moon'', ''Love is the Thing'', ''Boog It'', and ''I Want a Little Girl''. Recently his music has enjoyed a renewed popularity, and his records are available on CDs. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ray Perry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
