Jo Jones in City of Kansas City - the 1930's
from Hear Me Talkin' To Ya: The Classic Story of Jazz as Told by the Men Who Made It, page 296:
[Oran] Hot Lips Page was the life of many a Kaycee [Kansas City] jam session. After a soloist had blown nine or ten choruses Lips would start a riff in the background [on trumpet] which the other horns would pick up. Not many arrangers could improve on Lips when it came to backing up a soloist.
