Kid Ory - The Original Jazz '1960 [2015]

Tracks list

Kid Ory was the original "tailgate" trombonist: his enormous brassy sound,
audacious glissandi and loud sense of humor came to dene the New Orleans
trombone sound. A key element in the groups of King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton
and Louis 
Armstrong, Ory led the rst African-American ensemble to record jazz, and he
composed many early jazz hits, including 
"Ory's Creole Trombone" and "Muskrat Ramble." In the 1940s, he was a leader of
the Dixieland revival movement.
Edward Ory was born in La Place, Louisiana on December 25, 1886. Ory began
playing music with his friends there, about 
30 miles West of New Orleans, when he was eleven years old. He started a string
band out of makeshift instruments that 
became well-known around La Place. He would occasionally visit his sister in New
Orleans, where he was exposed to the 
nascent sounds of early jazz. He saved up to buy a trombone from a New Orleans
music shop at age 13, and was offered a 
job with cornetist Buddy Bolden. His family, however, insisted that he was too
young to play with Bolden and so he 
remained in La Place until 1907
