Well said!

And Satchmo was a long way removed from NO's red light district. Thanks for pointing out skin color, though entirely pointless.

Wow, thank you for that information. I have a renewed interest in this music.am currently on a Kid Ory binge. My parents played it back in the 60s, My dad was president of Southern nEw England Dixieland Jazz society! I was into rock n roll, thought they were so old fashioned. Now, I get it,can see the influences of this music on my old heros of the 60 s.

Miss Ory, You very talented Dad gave us so many wonderful musical memories. Heaven must have one Real Kick Arse Band by now. I live in North Queensland, Australia where it's Hot all year round. I have always said it won't be Hot enough in Hell for me. If I'm lucky your Dads' music will be loud enough for me to hear it while I'm stocking the fires down there. Cheers, Denis.

Well know (as I'm sure you do) there are a lot of us out here playing their music and have the honor of playing for multiple generations to try to insure the music is around another 100 years. We all owe a huge thanks to your pops!

Wow, you were so lucky! But their great music lives on, and always will.

Amen.

+Oliver Z. So was Babette`s Dad

+Sailorman Oyster this is right. I played three years in a Band in Germany, where's the leader was a great fan from Kid Ory.

Johnny St. Cyr was leading his "Young Men of New Orleans" at this time.

O MAIOR TROMPETISTA DE TODOS OS TEMPOS QUE EU VI EM CINEMA .

It was like that, as late as 1962.........shameful

Yeah, but it's a good thing they didn't try to dance.

Why. Are you a white black racist? They not getting the beat? You miss the point. Kid was white, he was black, spanish and indian. What do you want? Poor Kid fought you and the other types all his life. Ken Burns didn't spent 2 minutes on this great man. Too black to be white in the 20's and too white to be a jazz founder in the 2000's. The point is friend these people in the audience loved the music. That is all that matters. Love the music and love the people who make it and love it. I am an Ory from Convent and my country people run from the association. Don't try to make up for your pain by crapping on others. Buy a horn and try to play. I did. Love to you Babette. Country Joe, none at all for you.

Lucky you! What a memory.

@@susanrobertsen3667 - I sure would not ever forget hearing 3 members of Louis Armstrong Hot Five. I remember they played Ory’s Muskrat Ramble. The pianist was Harvey Brooks who recorded with Paul Howard’s Quality Serenaders in 1929 and 1930 and under his own name, Harvey Brooks Quality 4, for the Hollywood label.

Just a pity that Kid Ory did not receive quite the recognition that he deserved.....though it was great to see him and Johnny St Cyr playing together so late in their careers - assume Louis may have been consulted!

@@davidokell1832 - it was a great experience to hear Louis, Ory and St. Cyr in person that night at Disneyland in 1962. I wonder if I was the only one in the audience who knew that they were witnessing history, 3 members of the Hot Five playing on that riverboat. One of the tunes they played as Ory’s Muskrat Ramble. Wouldn’t it have been ironic if the only person in the audience to know that there were three members of the Hot Five and that person was an 11 year old kid-me. I remember talking to people in the audience at intermission and telling them that Louis had two other members of the Hot Five with him. I remembered all of them answered me, “What’s the Hot Five?”

@@jazzguy1927 I hate to say this, but that response is at least as likely these days, sadly.

@Doug Gray "Credited" would be correct. Pops wrote it but gave Ory the credit for all the latter's support during his N.O. years. Anyway I read that somewhere

@Doug Gray no not lil.

Monette Moore

The singer is Monette Moore, who died before the year was out.

Thank you for Great history info. I’m on a Dixieland Jazz binge, revisiting the music I grew up hearing. Much appreciated.

First time I've heard of Earl Holmes?
