THOSE OTHER 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 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.

We are indebted to those who have trodden this path before us - people like Brian Rust, Dave Carey, W Bruyninckx, Tom Lord, Christopher Hillman, Alan Barrel, , Alyn Shipton, Paige Van Vorst, Jempi de Donder and a

- 1 -

whole host of others who have researched the careers of individual musicians and published the results of their research, often in specialist magazines such as down beat, Footnote and New Orleans Music. It would be remiss of us not to mention the Storyville Team whose contribution to the body of knowledge of New Orleans music is immense.

Many of the recordings listed are available on microgroove and/or CD. The chances of coming across an original 78rpm issue are remote as these are mostly in the hands of collectors. Our approach is to quote the matrix number and original 78rpm issue number in order to precisely identify the recording in the case of recordings in the 78rpm era (roughly up to the early fifties) and wherever possible to quote the numbers of CD and microgroove releases. LP and EP issues are the most difficult to track down. Any help you can give in listing issues will be much appreciated.

BIOGRAPHY

DON ALBERT (rn ALBERT ANITE DOMINIQUE)

Cornet, Trumpet, Band Leader and Arranger

Born New Orleans 5 August 1908

Died San Antonio 4 March 1980

Son of a cigar maker, nephew of Natty Dominique and second cousin to Barney and alex Bigard. Taught by Lorenzo Tio Jnr. and Milford Piron. Initially played cornet, later trumpet. Played in parades in New Orleans in the early 1920’s. Left New Orleans to tour with Trent’s Number Two Band in 1925. Moved to in 1926 with his new wife Hazel to join a band playing at the Tip Top Club. Played some dates with Terrence Holder’s Clouds Of Joy, The Blue Devils and Alphonso Trent’s Orchestra. Joined Troy Floyd’s Orchestra Of Gold, which had a residency at the Shadowland Ballroom in San Antonio, c. March 1927 as a replacement for Benno Kennedy (pictured at p 36 of On The Road and at p 103 of Jazz) and toured extensively throughout for almost 3 years. Made his first recordings with this band in 1928. The muted solos on Wabash and Shadowland Blues are by Albert. The Floyd orchestra made further recordings in 1929 with a line-up which included Herschel Evans (pictured with Don Albert at p 103 of Big Band Jazz), making his debut. Again Albert is a featured soloist. Returned to New Orleans in September 1929 and worked briefly with Bebe Ridgley’s Tuxedo Orchestra. He then received an invitation from Bernard Goldberg to form a band to play at the Texas State Fair and a series of gigs in Dallas and San Antonio. He recruited a band in New Orleans, mainly from the ranks of Bebe Ridgley’s and Sidney Desvigne’s bands, adopted the name Don Albert as his professional name and called his band Don Albert And His Ten Pals. The band played the Texas Centennial Exposition in the Autumn of 1929 and then spent 18 months as the house band at the Chicken Plantation and the Shadowland Club, San Antonio. The band made radio broadcasts at this time. The band then toured extensively from 1931 to 1940 (pictured at pp 79, 87, 110, 182, 193 and 197 of Jazz On The Road , at p 108 of Big Band Jazz and at p 152 of New Orleans Jazz A

Family Album), in the later years with its own troupe of entertainers, completing 11 tours in all The band included Herbie Hall, Louis Cottrell Jnr. and Ferdinand Dejan, and later Alvin Alcorn (in 1932) and Jimmy Johnson (who played string bass with Bolden). Albert only occasionally played trumpet with his own band after 1935, preferring to lead and arrange for his band and chase gigs. Brunswick recorded his orchestra at the Bluebonnet Hotel in San Antonio in 1936 but he did not play on the session. Toured extensively (38 American states, and Canada) in 1937/8 with a band which included Earl Fouche. After this the band was disbanded and reformed several times, eventually folding with the advent of World War 2, after which Albert worked as a booking agent, a civil servant and owner at the Keyhole Club, San Antonio, forming bands only to play specific engagements including a spell at the Broadway Palace Theatre, New York in May 1949. Lived in New Orleans 1948/9 and worked for the Post Office. Moved back to Texas in the early fifties, playing only occasionally. In the 1960s he began to play trumpet more regularly, mainly in the San Antonio area, but occasionally elsewhere, whilst working as a government inspector. On 11 May 1961 Albert was interviewed by and Paul Crawford and on 4 June 1961 he joined with local musicians in San Antonio for a rehearsal which was taped. Copies of the tape were produced but apparently because of a dispute with other musicians at the rehearsal talk of a record deal foundered. I am not aware of the fate of the tape, but for the record the numbers taped included Blues, Panama Rag, High Society, Come Back Sweet Papa, Mama’s Gone Goodbye, Bill Bailey and Chatanooga Stomp. Continued to play in New Ortleans, where he made recordings on visits in 1962, 1963 and 1974, and in San Antonio. Played with in New York in 1966 and at the New Orleans Jazz Festival in 1969 and 1971. Toured with a band which included Louis Cottrell Jnr, and Freddy Kohlman in the mid 1970s. Was still musically active until early 1980, despite being involved in a serious road accident in 1978 in which his wife was killed and he was injured, and suffering a stroke, but made no further recordings after the session with in 1974.

INTRODUCTION

I first heard Lee Collins on record in 1960 when I acquired a copy of the Astoria Hot Eight session. I was hooked and have stayed hooked ever since, collecting every scrap of information on Lee that came my way and listening to all the tracks I could get my hands on, with particular help from Dave Copperwaite, another Lee Collins addict. Lee passed on in that year so I was never able to hear him in the flesh. I have always found, with New Orleans musicians, that no matter how well recorded they are hearing them in the flesh is always a revelation. Most outstanding in this department in my experience was Albert Burbank.

Lee began work on his autobiography in 1943 but it was 1974 before the numerous scraps of writing, notes dictated to his wife Mary and recorded interviews were pulled together by Frank J Gillis and John W Miner and Oh, Didn't He Ramble - The Life Story Of Lee Collins was published. In that same year Alan Barrell did a masterful job of pulling together all the available information on Lee. He clearly had access to some of the same sources as the editors of Lee's Life Story. His piece on Lee, published in installments in Footnote Volumes 5 and 6 in that year, is as illuminating today as it was then.

The standard works of reference summarise Lee's career details and assess his playing. They mostly place him in the elite group of New Orleans trumpet players which includes and . I have never been a great believer in someone's description of how a player sounds, preferring to make up my own mind on aural evidence. For those of like mind I hope this discography will prove useful.

Lee's Life Story contains comprehensive information on his recordings, as do other discographies. I'm sure he recorded more than any of these show and that in the fullness of time the full picture will emerge. Alan Barrel, in the piece published in Footnote referred to above, explores a number of possible (and in some cases likely) recordings by Lee. Because his work was contemporary with the work going on in the USA to publish Lee's Life Story the two publications contain diverse information which will no doubt one day be reconciled. - 17 -

Meanwhile, I have produced this list of recordings in loose leaf format and in a form which I hope the reader will find useful. This can easily be updated if more information comes to light.

Where I am aware of the existence of microgroove or CD recordings I list them, but because of the never ending stream of reissues in recent years there are sure to be gaps in this information.

BIOGRAPHY

LEEDS "LEE" COLLINS

Cornet and Trumpet

Born Robinson Street, New Orleans 17 October 1901

Died 3 July 1960

Tutored by Professor Humphrey and Louis Dumaine. His first professional work was probably with The Young Eagles c 1918 alongside Earl Humphrey and John Casimir. Played in the Onward alongside Manuel Perez and Maurice Durand c 1922 and with 's and the Buddy Petit Brass Band in the same period. Replaced Louis Armstrong with 's Creole Band at the Plantation in Chicago in 1924. Made his first recording, with Jelly Roll Morton, in the same year. Pictured at p. 23 of Black Beauty, White Heat around this time. By 1925 Lee had formed his own band and toured with it (pictured at p. 27 of Black Beauty, White Heat at the Tip Top Inn in Dallas). Played with George Lewis during this period. With the Brass Band in the late 20s. Following the recording session with the Jones And Collins Astoria Hot Eight Lee left New Orleans permanently. He spent most of his life playing in small clubs and by 1940 was almost a forgotten man, appearing with a cabaret show at The Ship, just outside Ontario (pictured at p. 86 of Black Beauty, White Heat). His fortunes were revived in the post-war period but by then his debilitating illness was taking its toll. Even so, he recorded prolifically between 1946 and 1954 with much of it, in the form of radio broadcasts, still not issued. During this period he led a trio at the Victory Club in Chicago. He - 18 -

accompanied blues singers on a number of his recordings. He is pictured at p. 266 of Pioneers Of Jazz with the Little Brother Montgomery Band c. 1947. He toured with in 1951 and 1954. He was taken ill on the second tour and never played again.

RECORDINGS

The Imperial Serenaders recording of "Climax Rag" in New Orleans on 23 September 1925, which was rejected by Columbia, is not included as Lee Collins' presence is purely speculative. Lee himself emphatically denied his presence and a great deal of energy has been expended in an attempt to prove or disprove Lee's presence; so far as I am aware without confirmation. Most of the recordings listed have been issued, a number of them since Lee's Life Story was published. Information in respect of dates and personnel in italics is unconfirmed.

NOTE: Numerous attempts have been made to establish who played drums on this recording. RCA said it was Gilbert (Albert?) Martin. Al Rose and Doc Souchon were clearly of the opinion it was Albert Martin. Albert Martin is on the 1936 Don Albert recordings which offers an opportunity to compare his known work with the Hot Eight sides. The concensus appears to be that it was Joe Strode (or Strater or Stroughter) but as he appears not to have recorded anything else to compare with the work here the jury is still out on this one.

BIOGRAPHY

ERNEST JOHNSON “NENNY” COYCAULT (OR ERNEST B COYCAULT OR ERNEST JOHNSON)

Cornet and Trumpet

Born Violet or Breakaway, La c 1890

Died

Elder brother of clarinet player Phil Coycault. Toured extensively with Bill Johnson’s Original Creole Orchestra in 1907/08 playing in , Texas, Arizona and . His middle name is probably a nickname arising out of his association with and likeness to Bill Johnson, although it has also been attributed to his liking for the playing of . Coycault was a direct contemporary of , the regular cornet player with the Creole Band. Between 1908 and 1914 he played with the Peerless Orchestra, which was led by flautist Bab Frank and also included George Filhe on . Replaced Bunk Johnson (who left to join Frankie Dusen’s Eagle Band) with the Superior Orchestra in 1911. Played at the West End with Big Eye and with the Gaspard brothers and . Left New Orleans permanently in 1914. Initially moved to New York and played a residency at Connor’s Restaurant on 135th Street then moved to Los Angeles. Lived in Los Angeles for a while and played with Harry Southard’s Black and Tan Orchestra c 1915/1918 (pictured at p 29 of New Orleans Jazzman and at p 170 of Big Band Jazz). By 1923 he was with ’s Eccentric Harmony Six and stayed with Clay (who tended to change the name of his band frequently) for a number of years, being replaced by in 1929. During his stay with Clay the band had residencies at the Plantation Cafe, Los Angeles which lasted for several years and at the Vernon Country Club, Los Angeles. The band made several recordings during his stay. In 1928 the band had a 3 month engagement in Australia with Ivie Anderson and cabaret which ended in calamity after a spat between Australian and American musicians unions.

So far as I have been able to trace all his recordings were with Sonny Clay although Eugene Chadbourne states that he last recorded with the Kansas City Six. If this is correct I would appreciate details.

BIOGRAPHY

ANATIE “NATTY” DOMINIQUE

Cornet and Trumpet

Born New Orleans 2 August 1896 Died Chicago 30 August 1982

Don Albert’s uncle and Barney Bigard’s cousin. Played drums for a short time before being taught how to play the cornet by Manuel Perez, under who he studied for several years. Good reader and, according to Baby Dodds, a good transposer. Baby Dodds always spoke highly of him both as musician and band leader. Played in brass bands including Manuel Perez’s Imperial Band before leaving New Orleans with his family in June 1913, working part- time in Chicago with Artie Stewart’s (Steur according to John Chilton) Brass Band and Dance Combo and in Detroit and Michigan with Bob Crucet’s Band. Returning to Chicago he played with Jelly Roll Morton, (being replaced by Manuel Perez when he left to join ), Carroll Dickerson (at the Entertainer’s Cafe, later touring the Pantages Circuit (pictured at p 38 of A Pictorial History Of Jazz alongside such New Orleans notables as Willie Hightower, Honore Dutrey and Tubby Hall) then at the Sunset Cafe), Al Simeon’s Hot Six, again with Jimmy Noones small band and with Louis Armstrong’s Stompers (at the Sunset Cafe). Joined Johnny Dodds at Kelly’s Stables in early 1928 and stayed with him for most of the 1930s playing at many of Chicago’s leading jazz venues. He is pictured at p 82 of Black Beauty, White Heat in a Dodds band which included Baby Dodds and Lil Armstrong. In the early 40s a heart condition forced him to stop playing and he worked as a porter at Chicago airport. He played at a jazz concert in Chicago in 1949 and formed a group that worked on a part-time basis during the 50s and included , Ralph Tervalon, Odell Rand and Baby Dodds. In 1951 they played a series of dances sponsored by Bill Russell and Barbara Reid. He made recordings in 1953 (supervised by Bill Russell) with his Creole Dance Band and in 1954 with his New Orleans Hot Six. He and Baby Dodds are pictured at p 104 of The Baby Dodds Story in 1954. At this time Baby Dodds’ health was failing and he was spelled by

other drummers during some of his engagements. Played at a jazz concert in 1965. Continued playing occasionally into the 70s.

Pictured at p 37 of New Orleans Jazz A Family Album. Natty Dominique’s Creole Band with Preston Jackson on trombone, Odell Rand on clarinet, Bill Anderson on bass and on drums is pictured at p 100 of Chicago Swingers.

Dominique was also a composer; his compositions, some of which were recorded, include Brush Stomp, Too Tight Blues, Lady Love, Little Isabel and Sweep ‘Em Clean.

- 57 -

RECORDINGS

Dominique is frequently cited as the cornet player on the ’s Washboard Wizards recording on 16 September 1926 but Rust says it’s not him. Dominique has a fairly disinctive style and tone and as he recorded in August 1926 and February 1927 it should be possible to lay the ghost on this one. I have included details of the Bertrand session.

Dominique is on 2 CDs which I don’t possess - Frog DGF 39 & Timeless CDC 015 - if anyone could copy the recording details for me I will be able to add these CD numbers in the appropriate places: c 30 October 1923 1

BIOGRAPHY

LOUIS “KID SHOTS” MADISON

Cornet and Trumpet

Born New Orleans 19 February 1899

Died New Orleans September 1948

Fellow inmate with Louis Armstrong and Kid Rena at Jones’ Waif’s Home in New Orleans, where he played drums initially then cornet in the brass band. Studied cornet with David Jones (as did Louis Armstrong), Joe Howard and Louis Dumaine. His first paid work was with Frankie Dusen’s Eagle Band. Dusen, who played valve trombone, had been with Bolden before he was committed to an asylum and led the Bolden band after his departure. Kid Shots also played with Papa Celestin at Beverly Gardens before 1917. Played with the Original Tuxedo Orchestra, which played both brass band and orchestral gigs, in 1923/26 (pictured at p 136 of New Orleans Jazz A Family Album and p 25 of Black Beauty White Heat) and recorded with them in January 1925, at which stage he was still playing cornet). The OTO was jointly led by Oscar Celestin and Wiliam Ridgley. Celestin ran the brass band and Ridgley ran the orchestra, but with Celestin as nominal leader. They were a successful outfit, playing at the Dixie Series and touring extensively. The leaders fell out late in 1925 and went their separate ways. Ridgley kept the OTO name with Kid Shots on cornet, Willie Joseph on clarinet, Arthur Derbigny and Robert Hall on , Emma Barrett on piano, Willie Bontemps on and Bill Matthews on drums (pictured at p 172 of New Orleans Jazz A Family Album). Ridgley continued to lead bands until 1936 with many changes of personnel. In the late 20s Kid Shots played at Tranchinas on Lake Pontchartrain, the Pelican Dance Hall and the Plantation Club. He was with the ERA Band in 1935 (pictured at p 190 of New Orleans Jazz A Family Album). Leading brass band player with the , the and the WPA Brass Band (pictured at p 196 of New Orleans Jazz A Family Album) in the 30s and 40s, being replaced as one of the 3-man Eureka trumpet team by Eddie Richardson when he died in 1948. Made 2 further appearances on record in 1944, leading his own band (pictured in the CD booklet) and in 1945 with - 85 -

Bunk’s Brass Band (pictured at p 212 of New Orleans Jazz A Family Album). Played at the P & L Club on Lake Pontchartrain in the 1940s until a few months before he died.

BIOGRAPHY

ALBERT JOSEPH SNAER

Trumpet

Born New Orleans 29 January 1902

Died San Francisco 1962

Snaer was the subject of an informative article by Jempi de Donder in Footnote Volume 12 No 4 (1981) which includes a photograph of Snaer. Snaer was one of a large group of trumpet players who studied with Professor Paul Chaligny. Played in New Orleans with the Excelsior Brass Band and the Tuxedo Brass Band. Played with Manuel Perez and A J Piron. Co-led the Imperial Serenaders (Samuel B Charters and Rose & Souchon call the band the Moonlight Serenaders) with bassist/banjoist George Augustin from c. 1925 to 1928 whilst working with other bands; this band included at various times Louis Barbarin, Raymond Brown, Wilhelmina Bart, Joe Rouzan, Eddie Jackson, Eddie Summers, Dennis Harris, Alfred Williams and August Lanoix. According to Louis Barbarin this band recorded for Columbia in 1925/26 and the tunes included Zosie which Snaer wrote for his wife Mary (who later married Manny Sayles) as it was a nickname given to her by her father. Joe Rouzan also recalled recording for Columbia, stating that A J Piron used his connections to secure the recording date. Brian Rust, in Jazz Records 1897 - 1942, lists a recording by the Imperial Serenaders for Columbia in New Orleans on 23 September 1925 of 2 takes of Climax Rag, both rejected. He states that the instrumentation and personnel are unknown, but it is probably this band. Snaer played on and off the river boats with Dewey Jackson and . He was with Dewey Jackson aboard the SS Capitol in 1924/26 in a band that included John Lindsay on trombone, and Pops Foster. This band recorded in 1925, a first for both Albert Snaer and Willie Humphrey. Snaer plays an open solo on this recording. The band spent a winter season in 1925/6 out of New Orleans as the St Louis Peacock Charleston Orchestra and the New Orleans

- 91 -

Cotton Pickers. In the mid-20s he played a residency at the Southern Yacht Club alongside Willie Pajeaud in the John Robichaux Orchestra. He also led his own band for a time. He was with Fate Marable aboard the SS Capitol during 1927/28 in a band which included Al Morgan, Willie Humphrey and Manny Sayles. Moved to Cincinnati (for about 3 months) then New York in c. 1930. Played with Andy Kirk and then Earle Howard (at the Saratoga Club and the Savoy Ballroom and out of town at the Palm Grove, Cincinnati). In 1932 he joined (a photograph of this band in about 1936 with Snaer and is at p 270 of Big Band Jazz) and played with him on and off until 1941. The band had long running engagements at the Roseland Ballroom and the . He had spells in between with Horace Henderson, Edgar Hayes and LeRoy Smith. Retired in 1942 and moved to Connecticut where he set up a dry cleaning business. Worked briefly with in 1949. Moved to Los Angeles c. 1957 and played with Joe Rouzan among others. Moved to San Francisco c. 1959 and played with and others more or less up to the time of his death. He also did some studio work during his time in California. Snaer is described in New Orleans Jazz A Family Album as one of the best technicians on brass New Orleans ever produced.

BIOGRAPHY

EDDIE VINCENT

Trombone and

Born New Orleans - birthday variously cited as 3 July 1879, September 1880 and 25 July 1883

Died 23 October or November 1935

Name sometimes misspelt Vinson or Venson. Taught Charlie Love how to play cornet. He is first mentioned as playing with the Tom Albert band in 1904. With Freddie Keppard in 1908 in a small band which included George Baquet, clarinet, Buddy Christian, piano and Dee Dee Chandler drums. Played in the Olympia Brass Band (1910), the Pacific Brass Band on valve trombone (c 1911), the Allen Brass Band and the Excelsior Brass Band. Pictured at p 115 of The Loudest Trumpet and p 104 of Exploring Early Jazz at about the time Keppard’s Olympia Orchestra was renamed The Original Creole Orchestra under the nominal leadership of bassist Bill Johnson. In addition to Vincent, Keppard and Johnson the band included George Baquet on clarinet, Jimmy Palao on violin, Norwood Williams on guitar and Dink Johnson on drums. Left New Orleans in 1914 with Bill Johnson’s Creole Band (pictured at frontispiece and p 228 of Pioneers Of Jazz) which had an extensive touring schedule. Returned to New Orleans briefly in 1917 to marry his wife Amelie. Played with Bill Johnson at the Royal Gardens in Chicago in 1919 with King Oliver, Jimmie Noone and Paul Barbarin (pictured at p 245 of Pioeers Of Jazz). Back in New Orleans in 1920 to play with Lee Collins and Big Eye Louis Nelson. Played with Milton Vassar’s Scale Steppers at the Lincoln Gardens in 1921-22 (pictured at p 58 of the Jimmy Wade article in Storyville No 56). Played with Ollie Powers’ Harmony Syncopators at the Dreamland, Chicago in 1923-24 (pictured at Vol.2 No. 8 of Jazz Information). Played with Everett Robbins And His Syncopating Robbins at the Blue Chip Club and another venue in Milwaukee (pictured in Record Research in July - 106 -

1964). Highly rated by fellow musicians. Pictured at p 43 of Pioneers Of Jazz. It was reported in the Chicago Defender that Vincent dropped a saxophone he had borrowed from Jimmy Palao over a bannister at his home at 29th and Vernon and fell to his death when trying to retrieve it. I have not included in his recordings the speculaion that the Creole Jass Band recording of 2 December 1918 was Bill Johnson’s band with Vincent on trombone.

Usually known as Gene. Played with Sidney Desvigne’s Southern Syncopators on and off the SS Island Queen from 1927-35 (pictured at pp 28 and 36 of Black Beauty, White Heat and at pp 151 and 263 of New Orleans Jazz A Family Album) and with Joe Robichaux’s New Orleans Rhythm Boys from 1930-38 (pictured at p 37 of Black Beauty, White Heat and at p 286 of New Orleans Jazz A Family Album) It’s not clear whether he was a member of both bands simultaneously (which would have been unusual) or switched to and fro. His only recordings were with Robichaux.

BIOGRAPHY

OSCAR BERNIE YOUNG

Born New Orleans c.1903

Died

Composer of Dearborn Street and Every Saturday Night. A shadowy figure who seldom if ever commands his own entry in books such as the Grove Dictionary Of Jazz, New Orleans Jazz A Family Album, Who’s Who Of Jazz, etc. despite having a career as a musician and bandleader which began before 1920 and continued after 1940, during which time he played with and led many outstanding musicians. His anonymity was commented on in a record review in Footnote Volume 5 No. 1 (1973) and little has changed. What little we know of him tends to be gleaned from record sleeve notes or from reading the histories of his known associates, particularly Preston Jackson who is highly regarded in the memory department. Jackson states that he, Young and drummer Snags Jones (later a member of Young’s band) were contemporaries and attended elementary school together so presumably Young was born c. 1903. Jackson played with various bands led by Young in Chicago before and after 1920 with personnels including Omer Simeon, Snags Jones, Jimmy McEndree, Edward Temple, Cassino Simpson, Richard M Jones, Lil Hardin, Philmore Holly, Stump Evans and Happy Caldwell. It was during this period that the Young band joined Local 208 and made its first records. Young played with Arthur Sims at the Wisconsin Roof in Milwaukee in the mid . When Sims died of pneumonia in 1927 Arthur Allbright took over as leader but was replaced shortly afterwards by Young (pictured at p 28 of Big Band Jazz and p 72 of Trombone Man). His band had a residency at the Chicago Savoy Ballroom in the late 1920s. Musicians who played with him in Milwaukee and Chicago during the 1930s included Zilner Randolph, Cassino Simpson, Snags Jones, Joe Suttler, and Buster Bailey. Young was still leading a band in Milwaukee in 1942, when reed player Jimmy Dudley was with him. He was at one time listed as the cornet player on the recordings by Jelly Roll Morton And His Orchestra in June 1923 but Laurie Wright (Mr Jelly Lord p.12) gives Ladnier and Jelly told Alan Lomax the cornet player was Nick (sic) Dominique. Mike Tovey (Footnote 13.5 1982) looks at the various options. - 115 -

The jury is still out on this one. On some of the recordings listed his presence is unconfirmed, but I regard the listings as educated guesses, based on his playing where his presence is confirmed.

BIOGRAPHY

JOSEPH “KID” AVERY

Trombone

Born Waggeman, La 3 October 1892

Died Waggeman, La 9 December 1955

A pupil of Dave Perkins, who played trombone with both Jack Laine and Buddy Bolden.

Joe Avery played in Amos Riley’s Tulane Orchestra and Brass Band 1915 to 1922. Played and toured with Evan Thomas’ Black Eagles in the mid-1920s with Lawrence Duhe on clarinet and played with the Yelping Hounds in Thomas’ home town of Crowley. Played a few jobs with Al Landry when he returned to New Orleans. Played with Kid Rena’s Pacific Brass Band in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Founder member of the Young Tuxedo Brass Band in 1938 and played regularly with them up to the time of his death in 1955 (picured at pp 208 and 212 of Fallen Heroes).

BIOGRAPHY

C. ALVIN “ZUE” ROBERTSON

Trombone, Piano, Organ and Double Bass

Born New Orleans 7 March 1891

Died Watts, Los Angeles 1943

Learned piano at an early age and took up trombone at 14. Credited by his contemporaries with inventing the New Orleans tailgate trombone style. Spent much of his career playing with circuses and show bands including a spell with the Kit Carson Wild West Show c 1910. With King Oliver at Pete Lala’s in 1912 in a band which incuded Professor Nicholson on clarinet, Buddy Christian on piano and Henry Zeno on drums. With Piron’s Olympia Orchestra in 1913/14 and the Henry Allen Brass Band. Played with Manuel Perez, Richard M Jones and John Robichaux. With Joe Oliver in 1915 playing cabaret jobs at the 25 Cabaret alongside Lorenzo Tio Jnr. Moved to Chicago in 1917 to work at the Dreamland Cafe with the Lawrence Duhe Orchestra, which included King Oliver and Sidney Bechet. Played with Jelly Roll Morton and King Oliver (who he toured with in 1924 going to Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania culminating with a week’s engagement at the Grand Theatre back in Chicago). Toured extensively with W C Handy before returning to Chicago to join Dave Peyton at the Grand Theatre. Moved to New York in the spring of 1929 and played mainly piano and organ at major theatres such as the Lincoln and the Lafayette. Gave up trombone completely in 1930. Moved to California and played piano and double bass throughout the 1930s. His reputation was that of an irresponsible rambler but he clearly had outstanding musical ability on a range of instruments and must have been a highly competent reader. He was a definite on the October 1923 Morton recording date so it should be possible to ascertain whether he was the trombonist on the Levee Serenaders date.

THE MUSIC

INTRODUCTION

We have long been admirers of Ray Burke - the man and the musician - and we have prepared this biodiscography in order to facilitate our own efforts to tease out some of his more obscure recordings and to assist others of like mind.

We can say with a reasonable degree of certainty that this is unlikely to be the end of the story. Ray Burke is sure to have recorded more than we have so far been able to trace. But it is a start and hopefully a springboard which will lead to a more comprehensive picture emerging.

We are aware that there are glitches in what we present which we have so far been unable to run to ground, but we hope that input from others will eventually lead us to eliminate these. We include a list of queries in the papers to assist with resolving issues.

Ray played a wide variety of gigs at hotels, clubs, concerts, jazz festivals and on tour. But so far as we have been able to ascertain he does not appear to have been a parade player, albeit he did play at musicians’ funerals and once played with the Onward Brass Band at a festival. Nor does he ever appear to have recorded a vocal.

Ray had a recording career which spanned almost 56 years. His first recording by Columbia on 25 October 1927 was never issued and it was 10 years before he made a second, but after that he recorded fairly frequently for the remainder of his playing career. Although he also played four members of the saxophone family he was first and foremost a clarinet specialist, as were many Crescent City clarinet players who doubled on saxophone. He favoured the Albert system instrument as did Lorenzo Tio, Jnr, Sidney Bechet, Johnny Dodds, Jimmy Noone, Larry Shields, Barney Bigard, George Lewis, Leon Ropollo, Edmond Hall, Emile Barnes, Albert Burbank and a host of other Crescent City players. He played saxophone on only a handful of the recordings listed below. The last 30 or so years during which he recorded was a period when the more frequent use of portable recording equipment meant that he was recorded far more often than hitherto (often at “live” performances) and frequently without formal

- 183 -

documentation, thus dates and details of what was recorded - especially the number of takes and who played or sang on what - are at times sketchy.

This biodiscography contains details of more than 100 recording sessions, some in studios and others live. Occasionally these recordings took place on more than one day but they are counted as a single session if there was no change in personnel. Some numbers were recorded several times on separate occasions but he recorded a prolific number of different tunes - well in excess of 300. In contrast Jimmie Noone recorded about 150 different tunes in a 21 year recording career ending in 1943, all for “established” record companies. George Lewis, whose recording career ran from 1943 to 1967 (if one ignores the disputed session with Lee Collins in the 1920s), recorded over 400 different numbers with others not listed. Possibly the most prolific of all the New Orleans clarinet players in terms of recordings was Edmond Hall who recorded more than 700 different numbers in a recording career spanning from 1927 to 1967.

So far as we are aware - given the constraint of poor documentation and the fact that we have not been able to listen to all the recordings issued - every number listed has Ray Burke playing on it except for:

- the Vincent Cass session of June or July 1942; he was definitely playing on the first 4 tunes listed as being included on AMCD-47 but may not have been on other tunes recorded. We list all the titles recorded but for counting and indexing purposes include only the 4 issued tunes with Burke definitely present.

Equally, when we have been able to listen to other recordings which we do not at present possess we may be able to refine matters further.

We have recently acquired Kazoo Lips KL-3 (part) and KL-6 which include a lot of “new” Ray Burke material. As one might expect with discs recovered from a skip outside his former home the majority of them feature Ray. There are 45 recorded tunes of which 32 definitely feature Ray. We see no reason to doubt the approximate dating of the recordings so we have slotted them in chronologically as best we can. We will expand the Kazoo Lips section when we have been able to listen to all tracks. It may be

- 184 -

possible later to identify all or most of the other musicians on these recordings.

The series of articles which appeared in The Mississippi Rag and The Second Line (see below) give an insight into Ray Burke’s character and outlook on life as do the liner notes on LPs and CDs. The chapter on Ray Burke in New Orleans Style is based on interviews with Ray and is the most illuminating in terms of his likes and dislikes and his philosophy towards the music. The Spring 1995 issue of Downbeat (Volume 6 No. 4) contains a wonderfully evocative action shot of Ray taken by Joe Mares in the 1950s.

Far be it from us to pass judgement on a master at his chosen vocation. We have never seen an adverse comment on his playing in any book, review, magazine article or other source. If we had to single out one comment which for us sums up his playing it is Burke’s playing stands squarely in the line of the New Orleans masters: he has the sweet-toned delivery of Willie Humphrey but could be as elaborate and blues-inflected as Johnny Dodds if he wished.

If you have any information which will make this biodiscography more accurate or more comprehensive please send it to Brian Legan at the address below and it will appear in future updates.

It is our hope that this appreciation will enable all who read it to further their enjoyment of Ray Burke’s recorded legacy.

Our special thanks to Sid Bailey, Louis Lince, Graham Martindale, Jeff Milner, John Pashley and Peter Vickers for their invaluable help.

BIOGRAPHY

RAYMOND ‘RAY’ BURKE (rn RAYMOND N BARROIS)

Clarinet (Albert System), Alto Sax, C-Melody Sax, Tenor Sax, Soprano Sax, Fife, Harmonica

Born New Orleans 6 June 1904 - 185 -

Died New Orleans 21 March 1986

Self-taught, although three uncles - Jules Cassard (trombone, piano, string bass and , who recorded with , Ray Miller and Frankie Quartell); Leo Cassard and Harold Peterson (drums) - were musicians. Played harmonica at the age of 6 and various “novelty” instruments (kazoo, etc.) in spasm bands including a duo with drummer Leo Adde (who later played and recorded with the Halfway House Orchestra, the Original and Johnny Bayersdorffer) before buying his first clarinet at the age of 14. He started out on an Albert system clarinet and stayed with that system all his life. The set-up he used was a Penzel-Mueller mouthpiece with a wide lay which he fettled himself and a number 3 reed. He was so attached to the mouthpiece that when it got damaged he sent it back to the factory for repair.

Although he played in some “big” bands - comparitively speaking - he apparently did not sight-read music. He replaced Charlie Cordilla as the clarinet player with Tom Early’s Harmony Band in 1923 (his first professional job) and also played with Alfred “Pansy” Laine’s Wampus Cats (aka Alfred Laine’s Orchestra) in the early 1920s. Alfred Laine (cornet, alto horn, drums) was the son of Jack “Papa” Laine who Burke recorded with many years later. First regular work was with Blind Gilbert’s Tin Roofers in the mid-1920s (see recordings below). Blind Gilbert’s real name was Frank Meistier.

Played in New Orleans throughout the late 1920s and 1930s including a long spell with Henry Walde’s Melon Pickers at Pete Herman’s Plantation Club (1929-1934) (Walde was Blind Gilbert’s banjo player). By this time he was also playing alto sax; the C-melody sax, tenor sax and soprano sax came later. Moved from the Plantation Club to the Absinthe House in 1934. Played for a short time in Kansas City in the late 1930s but disliked leaving New Orleans for very long for most of his life, sampling the delights of foreign travel fairly late in life.

In the 1930s he was back in New Orleans playing in the band led by trumpeter Henry “Ants” Belas which also included drummer Joe Stephens (pictured at p 140 of New Orleans Jazz A Family Album) and he played with - 186 -

the Dandy Inn Five at the Dandy Inn in 1939-1940. In the 1940s he was leading his own band at various venues including the Vanity Club, the Stork Club and La Louisiane.

In the late 1940s and the 1950s he continued to lead his own bands (which included and Johnny Wiggs) and also played in bands led by , Johnny Wiggs, Johnny St Cyr, Tom Brown, George Hartman and Sherwood Mangiapane. He joined the Musicians’ Union in 1949 in order to fulfil an engagement with George Hartman on Bourbon Street. He had a residency in the early 1950s at the Famous Door leading a trio which included Jeff Riddick and Sherwood Mangiapane. Toured St Louis, Nashville and Memphis with the Leon Prima band.

In the early 1960s played with the New Orleans All Stars and continued to play throughout the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, often with the Band, appearing at the New Orleans Jazz Fest in 1969, 1971 (with Kid Ory), 1973, 1974 and 1975. Ray visited England in 1973 when Bill Russell came over with 28 musicians from New Orleans booked to play at a party at the Ritz Hotel. Ray played with Percy Humphrey’s Crescent City Joymakers along with Paul Barnes, Clem Tervalon, Narvin Kimball, Sing Miller, and Dave Oxley and the Eureka Brass Band and Professor Longhair’s Band were among the other participants. He toured the Soviet Union with the PHB in 1979 when he and Kid Thomas apparently did the world of good for US-Russian relationships. Frequently pops up in The Second Line playing various gigs in the city.

He was also a composer, his best known compositions probably being City Of A Million Dreams and Raymond’s Tune, both of which he also recorded.

He kept a curio shop on Bourbon Street for many years and at one time amassed a stock of more than 30,000 78rpm records featuring all kinds of music. By our calculation, based on weighing 10 10inch 78s and ignoring the existence of 12inch platters in his collection, the all-up weight was in excess of 5 tons!

The Raymond Barrois Collection of approximately 11,000 78rpm records, cylinders, etc. is held at the Hogan Jazz Archive in New Orleans and there is oral history material in LNT. - 187 -

RECORDINGS

Ray Burke made a number of recordings which have never been issued, but might be in future - with the possible exception of his first recording which is unlikely to have survived. Where labels and issue numbers are known they are quoted.

NOTE: Unfortunately rejected and the likelihood is that the masters have been destroyed. According to Ray Burke the band was fooling around, which he thinks may explain why the recordings were not issued. Columbia also recorded the Celestin Orchestra earlier in the day (145018 & 145019). ______c 1937 2

NOTE: Recorded by Charles Rossi. Does not appear in Rust. The Vincent Club was run by Vince Cass. Some of the tracks not on the CD have bad starts or endings and may not be issued. Cass is on every track and Burke is on the 4 tracks issued on AMCD-47. We are trying to ascertain whether any other tracks have been issued and whether Burke is on them. The accompaniment to Cass varies from track to track. According to David Winstein, president of AFM Local 174/496, Cass’s real name was Vincent Castigliola but according to New Orleans Jazz A Family Album the Castigliola family were noted concert-trained musicians whose only jazz playing member was trombonist Angelo “Buddy” Castigliola, who played with , Irving Fazola and Tony Almerico. Buddy can be heared on the Joe Capraro session on GHB-133. - 190 -

The collective line-up is:

The tunes which we think Burke is on are:

BCD-142

Tin Roof Blues Bill Bailey, Won’t You Please Come Home Farewell Blues I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate Struttin’ With Some Barbecue

BCD-143 - 214 -

Panama High Society Blues S-H-I-N-E That’s A-Plenty I Ain’t Gonna Give Nobody None Of My Jelly Roll When The Saints Go Marching In Home Sweet Home.

This was a benefit night for an ailing Monk Hazel with a number of musicians playing. The line-up includes three clarinet players - Ray Burke, Pete Fountain and Larry Shields - and it may be that nobody made a note of who played on which numbers apart from the first number of the evening With You Where You Are, which Ray Burke does not play on. We have listened carefully to these recordings and identified those which we think Ray Burke plays on, but are open to persuasion that we may have erred on this. We have not attempted to list the personnel for each of the Burke numbers.

BIOGRAPHY

PETER DUCONGE

Clarinet, Alto Sax and Cello

Born New Orleans c. 1900

Died Michigan c. 1965

His father Oscar was a noted bandleader in New Orleans around 1900 and his three brothers Adolphus (piano), Albert (trumpet) and Earl (tenor sax) were also professional musicians. Studied with Lorenzo Tio Jnr. His first paid job was with Edmond Faure at the Elite Club in New Orleans. Played at Anderson’s Cabaret c.1918 in a band which included his brothers Adolphus and Albert, Willie Humphrey Snr. and Alex Bigard. Played on Streckfus steamers in early 1920’s. Recorded with The Jim-Dandies in New York 24 August 1926 but rejected. Toured with J Vaughn’s Lucky Sambo Orchestra (which had on bass) in early 1927 accompanying a revue called the Lucky Sambo Show. Played with Bill Brown And His Brownies in New York later in 1927. Toured a number of European cities including London, and Paris in 1928 with Leon Abbey And His Orchestra (picture at p 213 of Black Beauty, White Heat ). Played a 3 month engagement in London and recorded for HMV in Hayes, Middlesex 17 January 1928 but rejected. Married Ada “Bricktop” Smith whilst with Abbey in Paris in 1929. Stayed in Europe for most of the 1930s. Played with the Freddy Johnson- All-Star Orchestra in 1932/3 which also had Big Boy Goudie in the reed section. Toured with the Louis Armstrong Orchestra in 1932 and 1934 (pictured at p 218 of Black Beauty, White Heat). Played 28 houses in Britain during the 1932 tour, opening up at the London Palladium, and remembered reacting favourably to a few tricky clarinet solos and breaks, no doubt by Duconge. Recorded with Maceo Jefferson And His Orchestra in Paris c. 20 December 1932 in a band which included Big Boy Goudie, but rejected. His recordings with the Freddy Johnson - Arthur Briggs All-Star Orchestra in the following year show him to be a clarinet player firmly in the New Orleans tradition. Armstrong stayed at Duconge’s

house on the banks of the Seine in 1934. Duconge assembled and led a band of black Americans resident in Paris which featured Armstrong on tour in and Belgium, culminating in a recording session in Paris in October 1934. With Leon Abbey again in 1935, playing a residency at Le Boeuf Sur Le Toit in Paris. Played for in 1935 and Benny Peyton during the 1930s including a European tour with singer Adelaide Hall (pictured at p 236 of Black Beauty, White Heat). Pictured with Benny Peyton and members of his band in 1935 at p 24 of Just Jazz magazine Issue No. 73. Moved back to the USA when war broke out and lived first in New York then New Orleans. One of the Duconge brothers played for Peter Bocage’s Creole Serenaders as a replacement for Louis Warnick at this time and it is thought it was probably Peter Duconge.

Kid Shots Maddison was on trumpet, Bill Mathews on drums and Sweet Emma Barrett on piano. Played in Louis Dumaine’s Jazzola Eight 1927-9 (and was on the recordings made in 1927) and with the Dumaine-Houston Jazz Band in the 1930s, when the band played occasional jobs at Tulane University.

BIOGRAPHY

ARNETT NELSON

Clarinet, Soprano Sax, Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax and Violin

Born New Orleans c. 1890

Died

Veil over his early life partly lifted thanks to the efforts of Kent based researacher Ernest Virgo, who established that he was born in New Orleans around the time that Johnny Dodds was born. I have also seen a comment by Sidney Bechet that he was from New Orleans. Composer of Buddy’s Habit. Played his first job in New Orleans in 1907 with John Collins, father of Lee Collins, as a replacement for Lorenzo Tio Snr. It’s probable he was taught by a member of the Tio family given this link. Moved to Chicago c. 1914. Played with John Wickliffe’s Ginger Orchestra at the Dreamland Cafe in 1921. Tommy Ladnier was with the orchestra around this time. Played with Tommy Ladnier and Roy Palmer in early 1923 at the Ritz Carlton, Chicago. Joined Wade’s Moulin Rouge Syncopators c. 1923, by which time he was an accomplished player, and recorded with Wade’s Moulin Rouge Orchestra in the December of that year, his first confirmed recording. It has been suggested that he recorded with Jelly-Roll Morton earlier that year, but several other reed players have been put in the frame for that session so the jury is still out. Pictured at pp 59, 64 and 66 of the Jimmy Wade article in Storyville No 56. Reputed to have been one of the best readers in the city. Played with Wade at the Moulin Rouge, Chicago 1923-6 and made frequent radio broadcasts, then the band moved to the Club Alabama in New York. The band was part of a Broadway stage show, fronted by violinist Eddie South. Returned to Chicago in 1927 but found no work and the band broke up. Wade and Nelson joined Arthur Daniels’ Cotton Pickers, a touring band which went as far afield as Albuquerque, New Mexico. Wade and Nelson returned to Chicago and Wade reformed his band in 1928, playing at the Look Night Club . In 1929 Nelson was with him when the band was on a tour of states including Iowa and they both toured with Clarence Morris’s Orchestra at this time. Nelson left the band shortly afterwards (various - 331 -

Wade bands, some including Nelson, pictured in the article by Ralph Gulliver at Storyville 56). Nelson spent most of the rest of his career backing blues singers in Chicago and recorded extensively in that genre. He played less in the classic New Orleans style and more in the hokum style of that period. Christopher Hillman has extensively researched Nelson’s career and the results are in the Cygnet publication Chicago Swingers. No doubt in the fullness of time more Nelson recordings will emerge and those that are “guesses” will be confirmed or eliminated when someone has the time to devote to this work.

Worked more regularly with Ory from 1922 to 1925 (photo at p 285 of New Orleans Jazz A Family Album), when Ory moved to Chicago. Missed out on the recordings by Ory’s Sunshine Orchestra because he didn’t want to make the trip from Oakland, where the Ory band was based, to Los Angeles, where the Spikes brothers had their recording studio. Dink Johnson played clarinet on that session. Played at the Creole Cafe in Oakland in the the mid-twenties in a band which included Fred Washington and Henry Starr on piano and Earl Whaley (no relation) on saxophone. Joe Oliver had played there in the Lucien Lomax band in between his Chicago engagements. Formed the Black and Tan Jazz Hounds in 1925 which was successful throughout the rest of the 1920s.

BIOGRAPHY

CHARLES LEOPOLD BOCAGE

Banjo and Guitar

Born Algiers, La 14 January 1900 Died New Orleans 4 November 1963

Brother of Peter and Henry Bocage. Took over the banjo chair from Johnny St Cyr with A J Piron and brother Peter Bocage at Tranchina’s Restaurant, Spanish Fort, Lake Pontchartrain in 1919, a residency which lasted until 1928, when Piron fired the entire band (pictured at p. 173 of New Orleans Jazz A Family Album). The band played at the Cotton Club, New York in 1923 when in New York to do some recording. Local musicians were surprised that the band had only one cornet player with a 4-piece rhythm section. The following year, when making a further trip to New York, they played at the Roseland Ballroom. Following the Piron bust-up Peter Bocage formed the Creole Serenaders with the rest of the Piron Orchestra (pictured at p. 175 of New Orleans Jazz A Family Album) and played on Bourbon Street, making frequent broadcasts over WWL Radio Station. At times the Creole Serenaders featured all three Bocage brothers. Played in brother Peter’s band for dances at the Jefferson City Buzzards Hall in 1955 and 1956 with Ernest Rogers on drums.

BIOGRAPHY

FRANK PASLEY

Banjo, Guitar and Alto Horn

Born New Orleans c. 1903 Died

Name sometimes misspelt “Pashley” and “Pasely”. Went to school with Preston Jackson so was probably born c. 1903. Played with ’ Creole Harmony Kings in Davenport, Oklahoma in 1923 - 1926 which for part of the time included Herb Morand on cornet, Bill Mathews on trombone, Ernest Moliere on clarinet, Jim Willigan on drums and Towles on bass (picture at p. 168 of New Orleans Jazz A Family Album). Towles was a New Orleans born musician who played in New Orleans and toured frequently. The band played in and around Chandler, Oklahoma for the rest of 1923. Gigs included a radio broadcast from Station KFRM in Bristow, Oklahoma (one of the first broadcastsby a New Orleans band) and a flyover of Davenport as an advertising feature for local air trips. Toured with Jelly Roll Morton in 1925 with Bill Mathews, , Bob Shoffner, Henry Kimball and Harry Dial. The tour took in Indiana and Ohio before the band returned to Chicago. Recorded with Preston Jackson in Chicago in 1926 but according to Jackson had to leave mid-session to join a band in California and was replaced by Leslie Corley. Discographies show Pasley on all tracks. Played a residency with the band at the Canindrome Ballroom, Shanghai in 1934, where Teddy Weatherford made guest appearances. Pasley and Al Morgan were with in 1939, touring, playing residencies in New York at the Golden Gate Ballroom and the Apollo Theatre and doing film work. They both appeared on the recordings made in 1940 and 1941. Pasley was still with the Hite band when Dizzy Gillespie joined in March 1942 and further recordings were made the following month. Pasley appears to have left the band later that year when it was reorganised. Pasley’s final recording appears to have been with Bunk’s V-Disc Veterans in 1944.

BIOGRAPHY

NELSON OCTAVE “OKE” “TOM” GASPARD

Brass Bass and String Bass

Born New Orleans c. 1872 on Union Street (now Touro Street) Died

Elder brother of trombonist Vic and bass drummer Edward. He and Henry Kimball Snr were considered the finest readers among the city’s bass players. Played in the Piron - Gaspard Orchestra with brother Vic from 1893 to 1902. Played string bass for the Robichaux Orchestra with John Robichaux and Wendell McNeil on violin, James Williams and James McNeil on cornet, Baptiste DeLisle on trombone, Charles McCurdy on clarinet and Dee Dee Chandler on drums c 1895/96 (Pictured at p 63 of The Loudest Trumpet and p 16 of Exploring Early Jazz). Played with the Bloom Philarmonic Orchestra in 1903. Played with Gilbert “Bab” Frank’s Peerless Orchestra for several years until it broke up in 1913. Played for John Robichaux in a 36-piece symphonic group for the grand ball of the society carnival club The Elves of Oberon in 1913. The orchestra included Honore Dutrey on trombone Sam Dutrey on clarinet and Louis Cottrell Snr on drums. At this time Gaspard played at West End with a band which included his brother Vic, Ernest Coycault on trumpet and Emile Barnes on clarinet. Played dance jobs during the First World War in a band which included on clarinet and Hyppolite Charles on cornet. After Robichaux fell ill in 1919 he and brother Vic organised the Maple Leaf Orchestra to play a residency at the Eurey Hotel in Shreveport with Lorenzo Tio Jnr on clarinet and Louis Cottrell Snr on drums. The Maple Leaf Orchestra kept going under their joint leadership until 1926 when Vic rejoined Robichaux. Octave led the Orchestra until 1932 when he moved to Dallas, returning to New Orleans only occasionally. Over the years the Maple Leaf Orchestra included some fine musicians, notably Alec Bigard on drums and Willie Pajeaud on trumpet. In December 1932 Paul Beaullieu

BIOGRAPHY

WILBERT “BIRD” TILLMAN

Brass Bass, string bass, trumpet, saxophone, clarinet

Born 719 Adams Street, Carrollton District, New Orleans 31 March 1898

Died New Orleans 11 February 1967

Name sometimes misspelt Wilbur. He was probably related to Cornelius Tillman who was Buddy Bolden’s drummer. He was in Jones’ Waifs Home at the same time as Louis Armstrong. Served in the US Navy 1917-20 during which time he started to play clarinet. Took lessons on clarinet when he returned to New Orleans from Jim Humphrey, Paul Chaligny, Dave Perkins, Pinchback Touro, Lorenzo Tio Jr and Ed Hall. His first band job was in 1922 or 1923 with the Peerless Orchestra which was led by his brother-in-law Allen Hunter Gardette on trumpet and included his brother Edward Tillman on trombone. Left the Peerless Orchestra to join a band co-led by Sam Towles and Willie Cornish which split up shortly afterwards. Cornish then formed the Liberty Jazz Band with Tillman on saxophone. Had saxophone lessons from Manuel Manetta and Davey Jones at this time. Played clarinet and saxophone with the D’Jalma Ganier Brass Band (later renamed the Camelia Brass Band) during the 1920s. Played clarinet with the Louisiana Avenue Jazz Hounds in the mid 1920s and switched to alto saxophone when his cousin John Casimir joined the band on clarinet. Played in bands led by Jack Carey, Buddy Petit, Chris Kelly and Foster Lewis in the late 1920s. Formed a band with Allen Hunter Gardette at the end of the 1920s with Joe Avery on trombone and Sammy Penn on drums.

Played in the Tulane Orchestra and Brass Band from the late 1920s to 1938, when he and Casimir left to form theYoung Tuxedo Brass Band. Played aboard the Ouachita with Edward “Son White” Washington in the eary 1930s. Played trumpet in the ERA/WPA bands during the Depression and had lessons from Louis Dumaine at that time. Played in a quartet with Octave Crosby and Dude Lewis during the Depression. Played regularly with the Eureka Brass Band from the late 1920s (initially on clarinet, then alto - 459 -

saxophone and occasionally trumpet) leaving in the mid-1940s to play brass bass with the Young Tuxedo Brass Band in 1948. After this he played alto saxophone only occasionally in brass bands up to 1957. Casimir was leading the Young Tuxedo Brass Band up to the time of his death in 1963, when Tillman assumed leadership. Played brass bass occasionally with the Eureka following Red Clark’s death in 1960 until ill health forced him to retire.

Co-led the Avery - Tillman Band in the 1940s on saxophone. Avery played trombone and the band had residencies at Tyler’s Beer Garden, the Eleanore Club, the Lyons Club and the Jefferson City Buzzard’s Hall. The band included at various times Dude Lewis, Albert Walters, Elmer Talbert, Percy Humphrey and Teddy Riley on trumpet, Joe Harris deputising for Tillman on alto saxophone, Lester Lewis on piano, Father Al Lewis, Ernest Roubleau and Douglas Hood on banjo and guitar, Tom Harris on string bass and Edward Washington on drums. The band is reputed to have played non-stop (ie no breaks between numbers) and without solos. Tillman played brass bass on the private recording made by the band in 1946, when both he and Casimir were recorded for the first time. Casimir was brought in by special request for this recording but did not otherwise play with the band.

Following Joe Avery’s death in the mid-1950s the Avery Tillman band was disbanded and Tillman played with the Young Tuxedo Orchestra which was led by Casimir. He played regularly at Preservation Hall in the early 1960s.

Although he played several instruments he only recorded on brass bass, usually or possibly always sousaphone.

BIOGRAPHY

JOSIAH “CIE” FRAZIER

Drums and Vocal

Born New Orleans, 1123 Touro Street, 23 February 1904

Died New Orleans 10 January 1985

Taught by Old Man Louis Cottrell and acknowledged being infuenced by the drumming of Red Happy Bolton (who played with John Robichaux) and Face O Woods (who played with Buddy Petit and Chris Kelly). His eldest brother Sam played drums with Kid Rena and his youngest brother Simon played piano at Preservation Hall when Ken Mills ran it.

Formed the Golden Rule Band in about 1922 with his cousins Lawrence and Eddie Marrero and played with Marrero’s Young Tuxedo Orchestra (pictured at p. 184 of New Orleans Jazz A Family Album) and with John Robichaux at the Lyric Theatre in the mid-1920s. Made his first recordings with Oscar Celestin’s Original Tuxedo Jazz Orchestra in 1927 and also played with Celestin’s Tuxedo Brass Band. Joined Armand J Piron’s Orchestra in 1928 and was subsequently with Peter Bocage’s Creole Serenaders, the Sunny South Band and the Sidney Desvigne Orchestra from 1932. Played in WPA bands during the Depression years. He made his second recordings with Wooden Joe Nicholas in 1945 whilst serving with the US Navy (pictured at p. 40 of Black Beauty, White Heat). He also played in a dance band whilst in the navy. In the 1950s he worked with Emile Barnes (pictured at p. 185 of New Orleans Jazz A Family Album), Oscar Celestin and Percy Humphrey as well as the Eureka Brass Band and George Williams’ Brass Band. Played regularly at Preservation Hall from 1961 to 1983 (pictured at p. 187 of New Orleans Jazz A Family Album) and toured with various manifestations of the PHJB. Payed with George Lewis at his last job in November 1968 and at George’s funeral. Played and recorded with the New Orleans Ragtime Orchestra in the 1960s and 1970s (pictured at p. 187 of New Orleans Jazz A Family Album). Appeared in two film sequences - The Cincinnati Kid (1965) and American Music From Folk To Jazz And Pop (1969).

- 472 -

Cie’s playing, which combined a refined technique with a driving rhythm and avoided excessive showboating, is regarded as the classical embodiment of the New Orleans drumming style.

RECORDINGS

Cie had a recording career which began in 1927 when he recorded two numbers with Papa Celestin. It was 1945 before he recorded again but after that he recorded frequently until he was forced to stop playing for health reasons in 1983. The final recording session we have been able to trace took place at Preservation Hall in 1983 (an approximate date) but there could be more. There could well be more from the Keith Smith stable. Only tracks on which he played are included.

Many of his recordings remain unissued.

BIOGRAPHY

CLIFFORD “SNAGS” JONES

Drums & Kzo

Born New Orleans 1900 Died Chicago 31 January 1947

Played drums left-handed. Played with Buddy Petit, Jack Carey, Papa Celestin and A J Piron before leaving for Chicago and joining King Oliver in 1924 when the Creole Jazz Band was split by arguments over royalties and contracts (pictured at p. 56 of Black Beauty, White Heat). Played with Richard M Jones, Junie Cobb and Jimmy Wade. Worked in Milwaukee with Arthur Sims and Bernie Young who took over the Sims band in 1927 when Sims died. Recorded with Sims in 1926. He seems to have shared the drum chair with Sylvester Rice. Snags was the band drummer in 1930 when Eddie Barefield replaced Edward Inge in the reed section. Preston Jackson was still in the band at that time. When Snags left the band he freelanced around Chicago for many years, leading his own band in 1934. Played and recorded with Punch Miller in the early 1940s. Following his death in 1947 he was written about by G Hoefer in Down Beat (The Hot Box) xiv/5, 1947 and J T Schenk in Jazz Record (Lament for Snags) No. 55, 1947.

BIOGRAPHY

JAMES “JIM” WILLIGAN

Drums

Born New Orleans c 1902 Died New Orleans c 1930

Given that this is not a common surname he was probably related to Bolden drummer Bill Willigan and Willie Willigan, who played second cornet in Amos White’s New Orleans Creole Jazz Band, although I have yet to make that link. Played with bassist Nat Towles’ Creole Harmony Kings in 1923 (Towles was born in New Orleans in 1905 and formed the Creole Harmony Kings in 1923, using New Orleans as his base for extensive tours for at least 4 Years). The band was stranded in Oklahoma when a booking at the Neal Brothers’ Dance Pavilion in Tulsa fell through. They spent several months playing in and around Chandler and did a radio broadcast from Station KFRM in Bristow, Oklahoma, one of the earliest New Orleans bands to broadcast. The band included Herb Morand, Ernest Moliere, Wallington Hughes, Bill Matthews, Frank Pasley and Towles on bass. Played with Papa Celestin’s Original Tuxedo Orchestra as a dep for Chinee Foster when the latter was on his travels. His only recording was with Louis Dumaine in 1927. Something of a mystery man as he apparently used the names William Leboeuf and William Lebet. Played with Lee Collins in the late 1920s including a tour in Florida with Earl Humphrey, Edmond Hall and Caffrey Darensburg in the band, before his premature death. Rated one of the best drummers in the city. Brian Rust, when reviewing VJM VLP46, commented “James Willigan displays his great skill as a percussionist throughout, executing long press rolls that are straight out of the New Orleans marching bands, in which all the Dumaine men played regularly. This probably accounts for the “open-air sound of their music...”
