Those Other New Orleans Musicians Biodiscographies
THOSE OTHER NEW ORLEANS MUSICIANS BIODISCOGRAPHIES This is a look at some New Orleans musicians (ie musicians born in or near New Orleans or who moved to New Orleans at an early age and “learnt their trade” in New Orleans) who, in the opinion of the writers, have received less attention than they merit in recent years or whose recording careers are obscure. Our choice of musicians is open-ended. If we feel that a musician merits more attention than he or she has hitherto received we will try to put that right by including him or her in our list. We are already working on a number of other musicians who will appear on the list at intervals including a group of piano players. Our aim is to make these players more accessible by listing all their recordings whether or not they were issued. Unissued sessions have a habit of turning up years after the event so, with one or two exceptions, should never be written off. George Buck has acquired a number of catalogues and is gradually issuing previously unissued sessions or sessions unavailable for a long time from the likes of Southland. We eagerly await his future offerings. Some musicians on our list are still being researched by a number of musical scholars (and ourselves!) so we do not claim that this is the last word in many cases. We regard this as a co-operative venture which embraces all those with a love of New Orleans music and we welcome corrections/additions to the information presented and suggestions as to musicians that might be added to the list. -

SUMMARY:'Dan t^eisman TYPING: Dan l^eisman I'm Torn Stagg of London, England. It's the Third of October ~7 1969» ^ie're talking about jazz£. in England 17rom the earliest. recoIlect ion . f About 1749? st that time? there probably were only two or three jazz bands? mainly based on the early dance bands o-f the per iod . The dance bands of that period were Billy Co-bton, and Man" y Royf -the Savoy Banner Band>..which played at the Savoy Hotel 1 n London? which played for many years -from the late 1950? s. The British jazz bands originated -from this type of musi c I probably, partly due to the fact of the visit of the Original Dixielend Jazz Band in 1<?19, where? of course i .they used a / British pianist;. Billy Jones. My first r-eco 1 lee t ion of a band I helped Fwas 3 George Uc-bb ' 5 Dixielanders, They played a-fc 3 place called the Red Barn 1 0 Bexley Heath? Kent, which nui^ is a outer London suburb. At that t ime? Lit] was a separate Kent town. I can7! recollect the personnel right now» but; they played King Oliver numbers, and GDJB numbers. They were a very tightly arranged band? stuck very closely to the original scares s and were pret'ty popular.
