  • BOBBY HACKETT “MELLOW MAN with a HORN” by Music Librarian CHRISTOPHER POPA with Comments by Bobby’S Son ERNIE HACKETT

Hackett had been playing music since he was about eight years old. “His first instrument was the violin. Then on to banjo & guitar!,” his son, Ernie, reminded me. “Later he switched over to trumpet & landed on cornet!” Hackett played with various groups at restaurants, hotels, ballrooms across the northeast, and in 1935 received his Musicians Union card from Local 9-535 in Boston. He formed his own group, a small band, not long afterwards, and in 1938 began recording under his own name for the Vocalion label, employing, on various dates, such sidemen as George Brunies (trombone), Brad Gowans (valve trombone), Pee Wee Russell (clarinet), Ernie Caceres (baritone sax), Eddie Condon (guitar), Johnny Blowers (drums), and Linda Keene (vocal).
