From the back jacket liner notes:
["A searching study of the artistic possibilities of a fine musician and his
horn, Have Conns, Will Travel silhouettes the many sides of Don Jacoby and a
Conn trumpet against the perfectly balanced background of the Chicago Symphonic
Band. A listening treat even to the untutored ear, the album consists of ten
numbers in widely different styles, performed with striking brilliance and
warmth of a man who obviously loves to play. Musicians will recognize this as a
true tour de force by one of the most versatile trumpet artists in the world,
as Jacoby's big tone alternately spirals through solos, spearheads the brasses,
or plaintively murmurs out a longing for some unknown.
Two of the numbers, 'Soliloquy' and 'Jacob Jones,' were composed and arranged by
Jacoby and Hoyt Jones, a rising figure in composition and music education. Jones
is also responsible for the ingenious arrangements of all the other numbers on
side 2.
When asked why he included such diverse selections on one album, Don explained
that he wanted to prove something to the thousands of students who have heard
him in brass clinics. 'I've been repeating what every instrumental teacher in
the country knows - that no one can play good jazz until he's learned to play
legitimate music well," Don said, "and I wanted this record to prove it.'
A man who has virtually let music leave his life, Don Jacoby has been traveling
with trumpet since he was seven years old. As a youngster in York, Pa., Don made
his professional debut when only nine years old, with the Spring Garden Band in
York. His early training was of the traditional type - careful study of the
classic disciplines of wind instruments.
For several years in his early teens, he made guest solo appearances with a
number of bands in the East, as well as regular appearances on radio programs.
For advanced studies he attended Ernest Williams School of Music in New York, to
work under Dr. Williams, internationally famous cornet soloist, composer and
teacher.
After graduation Don turned to the popular music field, to broaden his
experience under such leaders as Van Alexander, Claude Thornhill and Les Brown.
While in service bands during World War II, he worked with such musical giants
as Vladimir Horowitz, Nathan Milstein, Fritz Kreisler and John Charles Thomas.
After leaving the service in 1945, he played with Les Brown and later Benny
Goodman. In order to have more time with his family, he joined the studio
orchestra of American Broadcast Company in Chicago. Since then, he has appeared
on a number of programs as musical director as well as conductor and trumpet
soloist, going to CBS in 1957.
First test of his forte as a brass clinician was at the annual Midwest Band
Clinic in December, 1954. His clinic technique proved so popular that he finds
himself 'on the road' once more - earnestly fulfilling the ever-increasing
number of requests from schools, band festivals and musical conclaves throughout
the nation. Though his clinic schedule take him far afield of his home, Don is
nevertheless happy. 'Music has been awfully good to me,' he explains, 'and I
hope that in my clinics I can do something for music in return for what it's
given me.'
Don's virtuosity on the trumpet and cornet has also made him a favorite with
leading composers of band music, several of whom have written trumpets works
especially for Jacoby's performance.
*Mr. Jacoby plays the 28A Connstellation cornett and the 38B Connstellation
trumpet exclusively.*
