Muskrat Ramble Ory Kid 1959

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

To be realistic you have to put The Dukes of Dixieland with the Assuntos in there somewhere. Freddie Assunto was as good as I've heard on the the Tbone and the overall effect of their power and improvisation is the best. Yes, Ory was good, but I'll take the Dukes anyday.

Man, all I can say, is no one played tram like kid. Even at 60 years old he is the the the best.

he's a lot more than 60 here if this is from 1959 .  Born 1886 -- so 73 or so. Wonderful stuff. Thanks to jazzbobob for posting this gem

Honest to god, I know Kid Ory from the Benny Goodman Story with Steve Allen. Nothing wrong with that. It's a start. Plus Lionel Hampton. Sammy Davis Sr is in it. Good History. They are on film. A novice.

Correction: Arthur Burbank, sorry.

Ory was the last living Dixieland legend which is remarkable considering that he was also one of the earliest. Fortunately, he was recording into the era of good sound reproduction and left behind a solid body of work on the Good Times Jazz label. Those recordings enabled us to hear some jazz greats that would have died in total obscurity such as Ed Garland, Alvin Alcorn, Minor Hall, Bud Scott, Wellman Braud, Mutt Carey, Albert Burbank and others.

I love Kid Ory's music !

When the Dixieland revival occurred in the 1940's, Ory found his style of music back in vogue. He revived Kid Ory's Creole Orchestra in 1943 and was able to continue to play, tour and record Jazz until he retired in 1966.
