Pee Wee Hunt (May 10, 1907, Mt. Healthy, Ohio June 22, 1979 in Plymouth, Massachusetts) born Walter Gerhardt Hunt was a jazz trombonist, vocalist and band leader.
At an early age Pee Wee developed musical interest since his mother played the banjo and his father played violin. The teenage Hunt was a banjoist with a local band while he was attending college at Ohio State University, and during his college years he switched from banjo to trombone. He joined Jean Goldkette's Orchestra in 1928.
Pee Wee Hunt was the co-founder and featured trombonist with the Casa Loma Orchestra, but he left the group in 1943 to work as a Hollywood radio disc jockey before joining the Merchant Marine near the end of the war. He returned to the West Coast music scene in 1946. His Twelfth Street Rag was a number one hit in September, 1948. He was satirized as Pee Wee Runt and his All-Flea Dixieland Band in Tex Avery's animated MGM cartoon, Dixieland Droopy (1954).

  • Imborrables momentos de mi infancia, allá por los 50's, afloran en mi mente cada vez que escucho este tema y los demás del "long play" 33 1/3 de Cole Porte ala Dixie.

  • @lorintim Just saw a 1954 Dixieland Droopy cartoon, Droopy with Pee Wee Runt (dixieland flea combo). What a riot !!! Came to hear the real Pee Wee her. Added this 1958 cut to a playlist I've got for that year. My 700 playlists cover every year since 1900 & over 400 artists, it's a musical time machine! chuck

  • Exelente tema, se lo llevaré a mi padre grabado.

    Con la Gracia de Dios a sus 77 años está excelente y sé que lo volveremos a bailar.

    Muchas Gracias y Bendiciones a quién lo publicó.
