  • 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.

He went to "pay" school, then to Thorny Lafon [elementary] School, then to New Orleans University (WR says Bunk Johnson went there years before), which was at Valmont and St. Charles.

In about 1920 or 1921, PJ told Joe Oliver he was thinking of taking up trombone; Oliver advised him to take clarinet instead, as PJ was a good whistler and should have an instrument more maneuver- able than the tromboneo Having decided on clarinet, PJ was surprised by his mother, wlio secretly bought him a trombone (August, 1920 or 1921) - PJ found but later that William Robertson, his first teacher, and a trombonist, had bought the horn for PJ's mother (Robertson was from Chicago) . PJ studied with Robertson for about six months; when he had had the horn for about nine months, he was good enough to be invited to play in the band at [Quinn's?] Chapel, where he remained four or five months, playing in the church band.

  • “Ory's Creole Trombone”-- Kid Ory (June 1922) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by David Sager
    “Ory's Creole Trombone”-- Kid Ory (June 1922) Added to the National Registry: 2005 Essay by David Sager Kid Ory In mid-summer 1922, and with very little ballyhoo and promotion, a pair of enterprising African- American brothers brought out this pioneering and essential jazz recording, one that would define New Orleans-style jazz and serve as a model for future performers of that genre. John and Benjamin “Reb” Spikes—songwriters, publishers, vaudeville performers, and owners of a music store and a small amusement park in Los Angeles—were well connected in black show business and well aware of the enormous musical contributions being made by folks from New Orleans. “Ory’s Creole Trombone”—and its reverse side, “Society Blues”—are commonly referred to as the first jazz record by African Americans. Actually, it is not, for that distinction must go to Wilbur Sweatman and his Jass Band for a Pathe recording made in the spring of 1917. The Ory recordings are the first recordings of black/Creole New Orleans jazz, though, due to their loose feel and hot nature, many think of these as the first recognizable jazz performances on record. They are certainly the first jazz recordings made on the west coast. In 1921, the Spikes brothers composed and published the song “Someday Sweetheart,” which would become a perennial favorite among jazz bands. When singer Alberta Hunter recorded it for the newly-formed black owned-and-operated Black Swan label, the brothers took special notice of its success. With the growing popularity of “race records”--those aimed at the black audience--the enterprising brothers went into the record business.

GENE ANDERSON The Genesis of King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band On Thursday, April 5, 1923, the Creole Jazz Band stopped off in Rich- mond, Indiana, to make jazz history. The group included Joe Oliver and Louis Armstrong (comets), Johnny Dodds (clarinet), Honor4 Dutrey (trombone), Bill Johnson (banjo), Lil Hardin (piano), and Warren"Baby" Dodds (drums) (fig. 1). For the rest of that day and part of the next, the band cut nine portentous sides, in sessions periodically interrupted by the passage of trains running on tracks near the Gennett studios where the recording took place. By year's end, sessions at OKeh and Columbia Records expanded the number of sides the band made to thirty-nine, creating the first recordings of substance by an African American band--the most significant corpus of early recorded jazz - surpassing those of such white predecessors as the Original Dixieland Jazz Band and the New Orleans Rhythm Kings.

  • Black Bottom Stomp”--Jelly Roll Morton’S Red Hot Peppers (1926) Added to the National Registry: 2006 Essay by Burton W
    “Black Bottom Stomp”--Jelly Roll Morton’s Red Hot Peppers (1926) Added to the National Registry: 2006 Essay by Burton W. Peretti (guest post)* Jelly Roll Morton Few recording projects have had as great an impact on the evolution of jazz as this set committed to disk in 1926-1927 by Jelly Roll Morton’s Red Hot Peppers for Victor Records. “Black Bottom Stomp,” especially, emerged from these sessions to define “hot jazz” for younger musicians, such as Louis Armstrong and Bix Beiderbecke, and inspired critics and fans alike in future decades to designate Morton’s music as a wellspring of “mainstream” jazz. Almost a century after the recording was made, listeners are still amazed at how much artistry Morton, the composer and bandleader, was able to pack into three minutes of playing. The first eight bars are a vibrant introduction. Kid Ory’s slide trombone gives us an initial taste of the Delta blues that gave New Orleans jazz its sensuous flavor. (Ory, like Morton and the rest of the band, hailed from the Louisiana city.) A busy syncopated figure from clarinetist Omer Simeon and trumpeter George Mitchell evokes ragtime, the show music that reigned for a quarter century before jazz’s emergence. Then we hear the theme, built over three simple chords: four blues flourishes, nearly identical to Ory’s lick but broader and melodic, followed by an emphatic ragtime syncopation from the entire band. These eight bars are repeated. Almost the entire remainder of the number is made up of variations of the theme, built on the same chords.

  • Louis Armstrong Was the Greatest of All Jazz Musicians
    Louis Biography Armstrong Biography Louis Armstrong was the greatest of all Jazz musicians. Armstrong defined what it was to play Jazz. His amazing technical abilities, the joy and spontaneity, and amazingly quick, inventive musical mind still dominate Jazz to this day. Only Charlie Parker comes close to having as much influence on the history of Jazz as Louis Armstrong did. Like almost all early Jazz musicians, Louis was from New Orleans. He was from a very poor family and was sent to reform school when he was twelve after firing a gun in the air on New Year's Eve. At the school he learned to play cornet. After being released at age fourteen, he worked selling papers, unloading boats, and selling coal from a cart. He didn't own an instrument at this time, but continued to listen to bands at clubs like the Funky Butt Hall. Joe "King" Oliver was his favorite and the older man acted as a father to Louis, even giving him his first real cornet, and instructing him on the instrument. By 1917 he played in an Oliver inspired group at dive bars in New Orleans' Storyville section. In 1919 he left New Orleans for the first time to join Fate Marable's band in St. Louis. Marable led a band that played on the Strekfus Mississsippi river boat lines. When the boats left from New Orleans Armstrong also played regular gigs in Kid Ory's band. Louis stayed with Marable until 1921 when he returned to New Orleans and played in Zutty Singleton's.
