George Lewis, Sweet Emma Barrett, and More, Art Ford's Jazz Party 1 of 2

Art Ford's Jazz Party was a 90 minute show broadcast shortly in 1958. This clip is from Christmas night and features a tribute to famous turn of the, 20th, century New Orleans jazz legend Buddy "King" Bolden. The band is made up of some famous dixie musicians that played in the same era as Buddy. Some o f the names are; Punch Miller, George Lweis, Sweet Emma Barrett, Peter Bocage, Alcide "Slow Drag" Pavageau, Alphonse Picou and others.

This clip has two numbers it starts out with a rollicking version of "When The Saints Go Marching In" and then after some biographical background on members of the band followed by "Buddy's Blues"

More great stuff, and featuring the wonderful George Lewsi this time! I'd like to clarify one or two points. The trumpeter in question was Buddy Bolden, not Belton, and of the musicians here, I think only Pavageau would really have been performing during Bolden's time. We can also admit than neither Bolden nor anyone else was playing jazz in the 1880's, when ragtime was still in it's infancy out in the midwest. His music was probably hot ragtime style, from the mid 90's on for a decade or so.
