DIED. Roy Eldridge, 78, innovative jazz trumpeter; in Valley
Stream, N.Y. Known as "Little Jazz" for his compact size and
electrifying style, Eldridge became one of the first black
musicians to play a leading role in a white band when he joined
Gene Krupa in 1941. His inspired trumpet solo on Rockin' Chair
reached the top of the charts.
