Abram Wilson, 38, an acclaimed jazz trumpeter and composer from New Orleans who helped lead a new generation of jazz artists in Britain, performing as a kind of cultural attache from the jazz homeland, died June 9 in London.
He died several days after suspending a concert tour and checking into a hospital with stomach pains, his wife, Jennie Cashman, said. The cause was cancer, she said.
Mr. Wilson, who was raised in New Orleans and steeped in its hybrid musical traditions, was known for combining musical forms.
