Wilbur De Paris (January 11, 1900 – January 3, 1973) played the trombone; he was especially known for mixing New Orleans jazz style with Swing. His brother, Sydney (May 30, 1905 – September 13, 1967) was a jazz trumpeter. Both boys were born in Crawfordsville and attended Crawfordsville High School. In the late 1940s, Wilbur and Sidney worked together in a band called New New Orleans Jazz, which featured many legendary jazzmen.
