| Description | Along with Mathew Arbuckle, Jules Levy (1838-1903) was one of Patrick Gilmore's most celebrated cornet players. By 1869, Levy was a featured soloist with Theodore Thomas's Orchestra in New York, and he probably joined Gilmore's Band in 1876 at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. In 1878 Levy became one of the first cornet players to make test recordings for Thomas Edison. The friction between Levy and Arbuckle probably led to Levy's resignation from the Gilmore Band.
