Jazz trumpeter Ivor Mark Lloyd, better known as Snapper Lloyd, rose to prominence in the 1930's with Joe Nesbitt's Pennsylvanians; the leading competitor to the Ted Weems band in those days. His playing was technically flawless; he played lead as well as jazz horn and could handle any assignment. He was much in demand in the studio, and played on recordings with Hoagy Carmichael among many others. He played with the popular Larry Clinton band in the late thirties, left in 1939 for freelance network playing and spent a good deal of his time as a jazz educator. Snapper went on to spend 18 years with the popular American radio and television program "Your Hit Parade".
Snapper's trumpet is augmented by the masterful use of a plunger, Harmon mute, cup mute, and solotone.
