Sidney De Paris (May 30, 1905 – September 13, 1967)[1] was an American jazz trumpeter. His brother was Wilbur de Paris.[1]
He was a member of Charlie Johnson's Paradise Ten (1926–1931), worked with Don Redman (1932–1936 and 1939), followed by periods with Zutty Singleton (1939–1941), Benny Carter (1940–41), and Art Hodes (1941).[1] De Paris recorded with Jelly Roll Morton (1939) and Sidney Bechet (1940),[1] and was part of the Panassie sessions in 1938. From 1947, and throughout the 1950s, he performed almost exclusively with his brother, Wilbur.[1][2]
He suffered from ill health in the latter years of his life, before he died in September 1967, at the age of 62.[3]
