Jazz Trivia
This thread was suggested by thedwork in a trivia thread started by cdog which appeared under another category. (When John F. Kenndey was the U.S. President he granted Presidential Pardon to which Jazz musician busted for heroin possession? Answer: Hampton Hawes) The idea is to post a jazz trivia question and the person who answers the question correctly then posts their own jazz trivia question.
This one is probably too easy but: Who is the only jazz musician to receive a Pulitzer Prize for his work? |

I don't think it's Diz or Fats, I've read about this way back - not sure my memory serves me right - was it Jelly Roll Morton?

None of them, guys.
A hint: Bebop went very near to the right one. (PS: sorry for the late answer, I've been out for a while) |

What famous jazz pianist had his singing career squashed because he sounded too much like Nat King Cole.
