From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Jersey Hall of Fame is an organization that honors individuals from the U.S. state of New Jersey who have made contributions to society and the world beyond.The Hall of Fame is a designated 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, overseen by a Board of Commissioners. It was statutorily authorized through Public Law 2005, Chapter 232. This bi-partisan legislation was passed unanimously in the New Jersey Senate on May 13, 2005,[1] in the Assembly on June 30, 2005, and signed into law by the Governor on September 22, 2005.[2] While the museum has no permanent location, in June 2013 it introduced a "mobile museum" which tours the state.[3][4][5]

Format
The New Jersey Hall of Fame selects potential nominees in five categories: General, Enterprise, Sports, Arts & Entertainment, and Historical. With only rare exceptions, nominees must have resided in New Jersey for a period of at least five years. Selection of inductees is done using a three-phase process. Phase I is conducted by a group of expert panelists selected by the New Jersey Hall of Fame Board, who compose a list of 20 individuals in each category. Phase II incorporates a group of over 100 prominent organization throughout New Jersey who narrow the field down to 6 individuals in each category. Phase III uses a public voting system via the internet and manual ballots. Upon completion of Phase III, the New Jersey Hall of Fame Board selects its inductees based on the top vote getter in each category, as well as others the board deems deserving.[2]Induction ceremony
The first class of inductees was honored in an induction ceremony at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center on May 4, 2008.[6]List of works

Bent trumpet
Gillespie's trademark trumpet featured a bell which bent upward at a
45-degree angle rather than pointing straight ahead as in the
conventional design. According to Gillespie's autobiography, this was
originally the result of accidental damage caused by the dancers Stump and Stumpy
falling onto the instrument while it was on a trumpet stand on stage at
Snookie's in Manhattan on January 6, 1953, during a birthday party for
Gillespie's wife Lorraine.[58]
The constriction caused by the bending altered the tone of the
instrument, and Gillespie liked the effect. He had the trumpet
straightened out the next day, but he could not forget the tone.
Gillespie sent a request to Martin
to make him a "bent" trumpet from a sketch produced by Lorraine, and
from that time forward played a trumpet with an upturned bell.[59]
Gillespie's biographer Alyn Shipton writes that Gillespie probably got the idea for a bent trumpet when he saw a similar instrument in 1937 in Manchester, England, while on tour with the Teddy Hill Orchestra. According to this account (from British journalist Pat Brand) Gillespie was able to try out the horn and the experience led him, much later, to commission a similar horn for himself.
Whatever the origins of Gillespie's upswept trumpet, by June 1954 he was using a professionally manufactured horn of this design, and it was to become a visual trademark for him for the rest of his life.[60] Such trumpets were made for him by Martin (from 1954), King Musical Instruments (from 1972) and Renold Schilke (from 1982, a gift from Jon Faddis).[59] Gillespie favored mouthpieces made by Al Cass. In December 1986 Gillespie gave the National Museum of American History his 1972 King "Silver Flair" trumpet with a Cass mouthpiece.[59][61][62] In April 1995, Gillespie's Martin trumpet was auctioned at Christie's in New York City, along with instruments used by other famous musicians such as Coleman Hawkins, Jimi Hendrix and Elvis Presley.[63] An image of Gillespie's trumpet was selected for the cover of the auction program. The battered instrument was sold to Manhattan builder Jeffery Brown for $63,000, the proceeds benefiting jazz musicians suffering from cancer.[64][65][66]
