Kiki Desplat is one of very few female trumpet players of class. Born and raised in Paris she is still leading her all female orchestra “Certains l’aiment chaud” on a part time basis since nowadays she actually lives in Sweden and is married to fellow trumpet player Paul Strandberg. On “Buddy’s Habits” Paul joins them on cornet. Kiki and Paul became a couple around this time and one of many dreams that they shared was to revive the cornet duets of Oliver and Armstrong. Now, many years later in 2007, they are happily married and have a daughter who plays trumpet as well.
