Abstract

In recent years a number of books have recognized the contributions of African American musicians to the popular musical landscape and returned to the historical narrative figures of seminal importance. Such a figure is trumpeter Perry George Lowery (1869,1942), nicknamed the "Angel Gabriel's Right Hand Man" by his compatriot, W. C. Handy.
