Courtesy of Chris Treadway. The El Cerrito nightclub Hambone Kelly’s played a major role in the revival of New Orleans-style jazz during the late 1940s. The club was also unique in that it was run as a cooperative by the members of the Yerba Buena Jazz Band, who not only performed several nights a week, but also lived on the premises and cooked and served meals to hundreds of patrons. The driving force behind the co-op was Bay Area native Lu Watters, the band’s larger-than-life cornet player and founder. Tremendously talented, Watters toured the country with a swing band when he was a teenager and by his mid-twenties was writing arrangements for his own dance orchestras. Watters’ true passion, however, was the intense sound and freedom of early jazz, which was practically forgotten as a genre when big band swing took over in the late 1920s.

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Charles Duff Campbell, dated December 7, 2007 ; Leon Oakley, dated October 26, 2007; John Gill, dated February 29, 2008 ; Bob Schulz, dated February 5, 2009; Linda Jensen, dated March 4, 2009; Pat Yankee, dated May 12, 2008; William Carter, dated April 6, 2010; Carl Lunsford, dated February 23, 2010; Richard Hadlock, dated April 10, 2010.The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.
