Hackett was born in Providence, Rhode Island. He made his name as a follower of the legendary cornet player Bix Beiderbecke: Benny Goodman hired him to recreate Bix's famous \"I'm Coming Virginia\" solo at his (Goodman's) 1938 Carnegie Hall concert. In the late 1930s Hackett played lead trumpet in the Vic Schoen Orchestra which backed the Andrews Sisters. Bobby Hackett can be heard on the soundtrack to the 1940 Fred Astaire movie Second Chorus. In 1939 the talent agency MCA asked Bobby Hackett to form a big band with their backing. Unfortunately the band failed and Hackett was in substantial debt to MCA after it folded. Bobby Hackett joined the bands of Horace Heidt and then Glenn Miller to pay down this debt.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Bobby+Hackett","playStationPath":"/stations/268757340/play","stationId":268757340,"bioPath":"/music/Bobby+Hackett/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Harry+Edison","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c37/c37be2676efbcbeaef1bba4ed2c4f509_md.jpg","artistName":"Harry Edison","artistId":106287,"station_id":281655794},{"musicPath":"/music/Buddy+Johnson","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/acb/acbe1f30b08ea50d635880ae4d1da381_md.jpg","artistName":"Buddy Johnson","artistId":102292,"station_id":280764084},{"musicPath":"/music/Frankie+Trumbauer+and+His+Orchestra","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/db6/db6a2ad8491eccd9da1e12a2dbc2173a_md.jpg","artistName":"Frankie Trumbauer and His Orchestra","artistId":111642,"station_id":282283693},{"musicPath":"/music/Les+Brown","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c0b/c0beee994e301b5b3df7a4c1404a43cb_md.jpg","artistName":"Les Brown","artistId":107647,"station_id":281862615},{"musicPath":"/music/Pee+Wee+Russell","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/157/15731442155c406109666162adda9689_md.jpg","artistName":"Pee Wee Russell","artistId":102401,"station_id":279479565},{"musicPath":"/music/George+Lewis","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d41/d41dddc41ad0dc808c88ba3f9b563519_md.jpg","artistName":"George Lewis","artistId":122359,"station_id":283792996},{"musicPath":"/music/Lionel+Hampton+His+Orchestra","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d46/d46d8efcb1bf0d9a74c9549714cf7f6c_md.jpg","artistName":"Lionel Hampton \u0026 His Orchestra","artistId":7207,"station_id":113658178},{"musicPath":"/music/Sammy+Kaye","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/42a/42a9f540ba188daa42ac07b168eef74f_md.jpg","artistName":"Sammy Kaye","artistId":124831,"station_id":283950074},{"musicPath":"/music/Glen+Gray+The+Casa+Loma+Orchestra","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f65/f65f4adb0f4f53076b7966df242d1dde_md.jpg","artistName":"Glen Gray \u0026 The Casa Loma Orchestra","artistId":83682,"station_id":269167349},{"musicPath":"/music/Jimmy+Dorsey+His+Orchestra","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2a6/2a6d356a33b5c9a756a28e8ebd1b85c8_md.jpg","artistName":"Jimmy Dorsey \u0026 His Orchestra","artistId":463998,"station_id":401377105},{"musicPath":"/music/Cootie+Williams","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5d9/5d901ac1980789107681ffff43eb43d2_md.jpg","artistName":"Cootie Williams","artistId":130168,"station_id":285078704},{"musicPath":"/music/Chris+Barber+s+Jazz+Band","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/482/4820bd8dd7451206381835eaff3a80f0_md.jpg","artistName":"Chris Barber's Jazz Band","artistId":102294,"station_id":279533981},{"musicPath":"/music/Isham+Jones","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/340/340a7c59e570bdd2506031d8609e3f20_md.jpg","artistName":"Isham Jones","artistId":107989,"station_id":281862726},{"musicPath":"/music/Will+Bradley+His+Orchestra","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/be3/be35d310479ac731e4a7bb05e4355ed4_md.jpg","artistName":"Will Bradley \u0026 His Orchestra","artistId":102379,"station_id":279479559},{"musicPath":"/music/Paul+Quinichette","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/bc7/bc77acd13eba4349ce48d8a59fc78bdf_md.jpg","artistName":"Paul Quinichette","artistId":117493,"station_id":283168535},{"musicPath":"/music/Shorty+Rogers","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/5af/5af9f997a983c1b80b5f54a5b326574d_md.jpg","artistName":"Shorty Rogers","artistId":109145,"station_id":282140411},{"musicPath":"/music/Si+Zentner","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/0e3/0e395bfe99d9d54472e870938f038ef4_md.jpg","artistName":"Si Zentner","artistId":107106,"station_id":282139865},{"musicPath":"/music/Tex+Beneke+and+His+Orchestra","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/823/823c91149bf68811f1db9a77fc605d30_md.jpg","artistName":"Tex Beneke and His Orchestra","artistId":108633,"station_id":283944719}]}
