Rare West Coast jump 'n' jive [SR] p2010: notes (Jake Porter; b. Jake Vernon Haven Porter, Aug. 3, 1916, Oakland, Calif., d. Mar. 25, 1993, Culver City, Calif.; trumpet player recorded as King Porter) Grove music online, September 24, 2018 (Porter, Jake (Vernon Haven); born August 3, 1916, Oakland, CA; died March 25, 1993, Los Angeles; American trumpeter and record producer; in autumn 1951 he founded the Combo record company and label, which lasted for ten years and presented a full spectrum of African-American music; he has been confused in the past with both James Porter and King Porter, and he is evidently not the Jake Porter who recorded with James Reese Europe in 1919; it is probable that he is the King Porter under whose name a band recorded for Imperial, though he is not otherwise known to have used this sobriquet) |
