when was the trumpet invented and by whom
Trumpet The earliest trumpets date back to 1500Â BC and earlier. The bronze and silver trumpets from Tutankhamun's grave in Egypt, bronze lurs from Scandinavia, and metal trumpets from China date back to this period.[6] Trumpets from the Oxus civilization (3rd millennium BC) of Central Asia have decorated swellings in the middle, yet are made out of one sheet of metal, which is considered a technical wonder.[7]
Crooner This dominant popular vocal style coincided with the advent of radio broadcasting and electrical recording. Before the advent of the microphone, popular singers like Al Jolson had to project to the rear seats of a theater, as did opera singers, which made for a very loud vocal style. The microphone made possible the more personal style.[3] Al Bowlly, Gene Austin, Art Gillham and, by some historical accounts, Vaughn De Leath[4][5] are often credited as inventors of the crooning style, but Rudy Vallée became far more popular,[3] beginning in 1928. He could be heard by anyone with a phonograph or a radio.[3]
