James Stamp (1904-1985)was an American professional musician.

Background

Stamp was a professional musician from the age of 16, starting in the Mayo Clinic Band at Rochester, Minnesota. After having played in different Minneapolis theatres, he was chosen to become First Trumpet at the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, a position he kept for 17 years, playing under conductors such as Eugen Ormandy and Dimitri Mitropoulos.

In 1944, Stamp went to California and played in film studios in Hollywood, as well as radio and television programs. In 1954, following a heart attack, he devoted more and more time to teaching. Stamp was author of the book "Warm-ups + Studies" which was first published in 1978.cite news

Thomas Stevens, former Principal Trumpeter of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra said, "I believe James Stamp was one of the finest teachers in the world. His approach was so flexible that I have never seen him fail to improve a player, whether it be an established symphony musician, jazz or lead player or a twelve year old student."
