A song by a player of this instrument gave Louis Armstrong his first Broadway billing, following its trumpet solo. That song by a player of this instrument for the Hot Chocolates revue was rumored to be for alimony payment. Another player of this instrument used a D major over E-flat chord for a song opening with the lyrics “Look at me, I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree.” The songs (*) “Misty” and “Stormy Weather” were written by players of this instrument, which included Errol Garner. A dotted quarter note eighth rhythm was used in a song named “Charleston” by this instrument’s pioneer James P. Johnson. Players of this instrument in Harlem often competed in “cutting contests.” For 10 points, name this instrument played by Fats Waller and Art Tatum in a “stride” style. ■END■
