Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A Jewish immigrant family helped him buy his first horn.

The jazzman would later write that the Karnofskys treated him as though he were their own child, often giving him food and even loaning him money to buy his first instrument, a $5 cornet (he wouldn't begin playing the trumpet until 1926).Aug 4, 2016
