Life

Born Wilmore Jones[1] in Roanoke, Virginia,[2] he worked with Fletcher Henderson from 1934 to 1936, then recorded and toured with Fats Waller from 1936 to 1941. Concomitantly he also appeared on record with Gene Sedric, Don Redman, Lionel Hampton, and Una Mae Carlisle. Following his time with Waller, he played with Stuff Smith, Eddie South, Claude Hopkins, Hazel Scott, and Don Byas, in addition to further work with Sedric and Redman. In the 1950s he worked with Sidney Bechet, Wilbur DeParis (1954–55), and Doc Cheatham. He worked with Eddie Durham and Eddie Barefield in the 1960s, and remained active almost up until his death, though he never recorded as a leader.

gollark: As you can see, you don't actually need to explicitly compute the length anywhere.
gollark: Here's how I would do it:```lualocal function divisible_by_any(n, factors) for _, factor in ipairs(factors) do if n % factor == 0 then return true end end return falseendlocal primes = { 2, 3 }for i = 2, 100 do if not divisible_by_any(i, primes) then table.insert(primes, i) endendfor _, prime in ipairs(primes) do print(prime) end```
gollark: I can't actually read that because ææææ my eyes but it looks like the same thing with less whitespace.
gollark: I mean, it *sort of* is, but instead of actually marking the things it just checks against each factor.
gollark: Ah, no, it is not.
