- Oran Thaddeus Page, genannt Hot Lips, war ein amerikanischer Jazztrompeter und Sänger.
- Oran Thaddeus Page (January 27, 1908 – November 4, 1954) was a jazz trumpeter, singer, and bandleader born in Dallas, Texas. He was better known as Hot Lips Page by the public, and Lips Page by his fellow musicians. He was known as a scorching soloist and powerful vocalist. In his early years, Page, who moved to Corsicana, Texas in his early teens, traveled across the Southwestern United States and toured as far east as Atlanta and as far north as New York City. He played in circuses and minstrel shows and backing such blues singers as Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, and Ida Cox. Page's main trumpet influence was Louis Armstrong, though throughout his career he cited other local trumpeters, including Harry Smith (Kansas City) and Benno Kennedy (San Antonio) as being early influences. In the mid-1920s, while still a teenager, he is believed to have appeared with Troy Floyd and His Orchestra in San Antonio, Texas and with Eddie and Sugar Lou, a dance band headquartered in Tyler, Texas, though no documentation has been unearthed to support his presence in either band. He also claimed to have appeared around 1925 with a band in Shreveport, Louisiana known as Goog and His Jazz Babies and with a band in New Orleans known as French's Jazz Orchestra, though no documentation has been discovered. In 1926, he caught the eye of the bassist Walter Page (no relation) who had recently assumed leadership of the Oklahoma City Blue Devils. It is believed that Oran Page joined the Blue Devils circa 1927, though no known documentation exists to support his presence with the band until the fall of 1928. He played and toured with the Blue Devils until the spring of 1931, when he joined the Bennie Moten Orchestra, the leading dance band out of Kansas City. Though not a regular member of the band, Page appeared as a vocalist, emcee and hot trumpet soloist with Count Basie's Reno Club orchestra after the Moten band finally disbanded upon that leader's sudden death in April, 1935. Page embarked upon a solo career during this period, playing with small pick up bands out of Kansas City, where he had moved in the spring of 1931. The Reno Club, in downtown Kansas City, had a floor show, which included Page and vocalist Jimmy Rushing. Basie's band was just starting to build their reputation, but in the summer of 1936 - on the eve of Basie’s national success - and at the beckoning of Louis Armstrong's manager, Joe Glaser, Page decided to pursue a solo career. He moved to New York City in December 1936. Page's career as a bandleader got off to an auspicious start, with sold-out appearances and an extended run at Harlem's Small's Paradise in the summer of 1937, but by 1939 he was struggling to maintain a regular working band. Nonetheless, he remained a popular and successful performer, leading several bands and combos of his own, particularly on New York's 52nd Street, where he appeared from 1938 or 1939 through the 1950s, and in many venues in Harlem. Page toured extensively throughout the southern United States, and throughout the northeast and Canada at the head of as many as 13 different big bands during the 1930s and 1940s. He appeared briefly with Bud Freeman's Orchestra in 1938, and was a featured vocalist and hot soloist with Artie Shaw's Symphonic Swing Orchestra in 1941 and 1942, with whom he recorded over 40 sides. From 1929, he made over 200 recordings, most as a leader, for Bluebird, Vocalion, Decca and Harmony Records, among others. His band backed the singer Wynonie Harris on the session that produced the hit "Good Rocking Tonight" though Page was never credited as the leader. He was the leader of the house band at the Apollo Theater during the early 1940s, and he recorded duets with Pearl Bailey on "The Hucklebuck" and "Baby, It's Cold Outside" in 1949. He traveled to Europe in 1949 and appeared at Salle Pleyel in the first international jazz festival there, and returned to Europe at least twice for extended tours in the early 1950s. Page was known as "Mr. After Hours" to his many friends for his ability to take on all comers in late night jam sessions, and he was recorded at Harlem's Minton's Playhouse in 1941 playing a kind of proto-bebop style then in vogue. He was one of the most flexible of trumpeters, demonstrating a broad tone and a wide range on the instrument. He has been largely neglected by historians since his death due to mysterious circumstances in November 1954, but is considered by many to be one of the giants of the Swing Era and one of the founders of what came to be known as rhythm and blues.
- Oran Thaddeus Page (27 de enero de 1908 – 4 de noviembre de 1954), más conocido como Hot Lips Page, fue un trompetista y vocalista de jazz. Nacido en Dallas, Texas, de adolescente se trasladó a Corsicana, Texas. Comenzó su carrera tocando en los circos y el ciruito TOBA, con cantantes de blues como Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, and Ida Cox. De 1928 a 1931 tocó con los Oklahoma City Blue Devils liderados por el bajista Walter Page, para después unirse a la orquesta de Bennie Moten, por aquel entonces la banda más importante de Kansas City. Al morirse Moten en 1935, tocó a veces con la banda que lideraba Count Basie en el Reno Club, también en Kansas City. En diciembre de 1936 se trasladó a Nueva York. y tocó con las bandas de Louis Metcalf, Bud Freeman y Artie Shaw. A mediados de la década de 1940, comenzó a liderar sus propias bandas, y al final de la década realizó la primera de tres giras a Europa.
- Conosciuto come solista e cantante dalla potente voce, Oran “'Hot Lips'” Page fu uno dei più grandi trombettisti jazz del midwest. Educato alla musica dalla madre, insegnante di piano, Page a dodici anni suonava già la tromba, il sassofono e il clarinetto. Le sue prime apparizioni come musicista professionista datano alla metà degli anni 1920, quando da giovane Page viaggiò per il Southwest accompagnando cantanti blues come Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith e Ida Cox, con cui si spinse fino ad Atlanta e New York. La sua influenza principale era Louis Armstrong, oltre a tronbettisti locali quali Harry Smith (Kansas City) e Benno Kennedy (San Antonio) che Page stesso ricordò in diverse occasioni. Dal 1928 al 1931 Page fu un membro dei leggendari Blue Devils; nel 1932 si unì all'orchestra di Bennie Moten. Nel 1935 (dopo la morte di Moten), Page, come altri musicisti dell'orchstra di Moten, si trasferì a Kansas City dove si esibiva con piccoli gruppi. Allo stesso tempo, Page lavorava al Reno Club, nella parte centrale di Kansas City assieme a Jimmy Rushing e al primo nucleo dell'orchestra di Count Basie. Nel 1936, alla vigilia del successo nazionale di Basie, Page si unì al manager di Louis Armstrong, Joe Glaser, e si trasferì a New York per intraprendere la carriera solistica, in cui però non non realizzò mai un successo paragonabile a quello ottenuto come musicista d’orchestra. Page rimase tuttavia una figura molto nota della scena jazz, soprattutto di quella di New York, in cui fu presente come leader di piccoli gruppi negli anni 1940 e 1950: esiste una sua registrazione del 1941, in una jam session al Minton's, in cui suona in uno stile protoboppistico. La sua cifra stilistica, comunque, rimase sempre quella dello swing, di cui era considerato un maestro: come tale si esibì anche in tre tour europei, nel 1949, 1951 e 1952. La sua salute iniziò a declinare nel 1953: nel 1954 subì un infarto e fu ospedalizzato. Morì sette giorni dopo, per complicazioni insorte a causa di una polmonite, a soli 46 anni.
