  • Edward “Kid” Ory
    Edward “Kid” Ory Mr. Edward “Kid” Ory was born in Woodland Plantation near La Place, Louisiana on December 25, 1886. As a child he started playing music on his own homemade instruments. He played the banjo during his youth but his love was playing the trombone. However, the banjo helped him develop “tailgate” a particular style of playing the trombone. By the time he was a teenager, Ory was the leader of a well-regarded band in southeast Louisiana. In his early twenty’s, he moved to New Orleans with his band where he became one of the most talented trombonists of early jazz from 1912 to 1919. In 1919, Ory relocated to Los Angeles, California for health reasons. He assembled a new group of New Orleans musicians on the West Coast and played regularly under the name of Kid Ory’s Creole Orchestra. There, he recorded the 1920s classics “Shine,” “Tiger Rag,” “Muskrat Ramble,” and “Maryland, My Maryland.” In 1922, he became the first African American jazz bank from New Orleans to record a studio album. In 1925, Ory moved to Chicago and took interest in working on radio broadcasts and recording with names such musicians as Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Johnny Dodds, and many others. During the Great Depression, Ory left music but returned in 1943 to lead one of the top New Orleans style bands of the period until 1961. It was about 1966 when Ory retired and spent his last years in Hawaii. He did, however, play occasionally for special events. One of his last performances was in 1971 when he surprised everyone by coming back to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

  • Great Instrumental
    I grew up during the heyday of pop instrumental music in the 1950s and the 1960s (there were 30 instrumental hits in the Top 40 in 1961), and I would listen to the radio faithfully for the 30 seconds before the hourly news when they would play instrumentals (however the first 45’s I bought were vocals: Bimbo by Jim Reeves in 1954, The Ballad of Davy Crockett with the flip side Farewell by Fess Parker in 1955, and Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford in 1956). I also listened to my Dad’s 78s, and my favorite song of those was Raymond Scott’s Powerhouse from 1937 (which was often heard in Warner Bros. cartoons). and to records that my friends had, and that their parents had - artists such as: (This is not meant to be a complete or definitive list of the music of these artists, or a definitive list of instrumental artists – rather it is just a list of many of the instrumental songs I heard and loved when I was growing up - therefore this list just goes up to the early 1970s): Floyd Cramer (Last Date and On the Rebound and Let’s Go and Hot Pepper and Flip Flop & Bob and The First Hurt and Fancy Pants and Shrum and All Keyed Up and San Antonio Rose and [These Are] The Young Years and What’d I Say and Java and How High the Moon), The Ventures (Walk Don't Run and Walk Don’t Run ‘64 and Perfidia and Ram-Bunk-Shush and Diamond Head and The Cruel Sea and Hawaii Five-O and Oh Pretty Woman and Go and Pedal Pusher and Tall Cool One and Slaughter on Tenth Avenue), Booker T.

The Originof Armstrong's Hot Fives and Hot Sevens Gene Anderson has been almostfifty years since Louis Armstrong'sHot Five and Hot Seven ecordingsof 1925-19281were first recognized in print as a watershedof jazz history andthe means by which the trumpeter emerged as thestyle's first transcendent figure.2 Sincethen these views have only intensified. The Hot Fives and Hot Sevens have come to be regardedas harbingersof all jazz since,with Armstrong's status as the"single mostcreative and innovative force in jazz history"and an "Americangenius" now well beyonddispute.3 This study does notquestion these claims but seeks, rather, to deter- minethe hitherto uninvestigated origin of such a seminalevent and to suggestthat Armstrong'sgenius was presentfrom the beginning of the project. /:Historical Background The seedsof the idea thatgerminated into the Hot Five and Hot Sevenmay have been sownin theearly morning hours of June8, 1923 at theConvention of Applied MusicTrades in Chicago'sDrake Hotel.

  • 19. Traditional Jazz
    19. Traditional Jazz uring the far-ranging jazz style experiments in the 1960s, jazz became more complex, more D fragmented and in some ways more exclusive. Some longtime jazz fans, who were turned off by such artists as Albert Ayler and Cecil Taylor, said the new forms ofjazz were creating an esoteric art reserved for only a few hip insiders, not the popular art form they had known in earlier years. Buddy DeFranco, who was leading the Glenn Miller ghost band at the time, and was a highly regarded bop clarinetist, said, "The more harmonically developed you get, the further away from the audience you're going to get and then, all ofa sudden, you have just a select few." But there were some musicians and listeners who Louisiana State Museum related the appreciation of jazz to the appreciation of Bunk Johnson (in back row with comet) posing classical music. They believed good music is timeless with the Superior Orchestra in 1910 regardless of the latest fads.

  • 3 Louis Armstrong
    3 LOUIS ARMSTRONG Can you imagine someone the age of a grandparent ranking number one in the top pop music charts? Jazz musician Louis Armstrong did it on two occasions with two different songs in his life. At the age of 63 he knocked the Beatles off the top of the charts with the song Hello Dolly, then once again at the age of 69, he reached the top of the charts in two countries with What a Wonderful World. Louis Armstrong is one of the best known jazz musicians of all time. He was an exceptional trumpet player and vocalist who heavily influenced future generations of jazz artists and was the first jazz musician to popularize an improvised solo in the jazz band setting. He was the vocalist that popularized scat singing and throughout his long career he played and sang together with some of the most influential and important instrumentalists and vocalists of the time. He starred in more than thirty movies, played in Broadway musicals and toured the world. Many of his songs are featured in TV shows and movies even today. As a child, Louis Armstrong lived in poverty with his mother and younger sister. He collected food that was thrown away then sold it to restaurants and delivered newspapers to earn money. He hauled and sold coal for the Karnofsky family who lent him money for him to buy his first cornet. While doing odd jobs for the family, he would often sneak into nightclubs and listen to jazz jams especially those where his future mentor “King” Oliver and other famous musicians would drop in and play.
