Muskrat Ramble Ory Kid 1956
In this second clip from Paris in 1956 Kid Ory and his New Orleans Jazz Band play Ory's composition Muskrat Ramble. Ory recorded the tune some 30 years before with Louis Armstrong's Hot Five.
Sorry about the film quality but it might be the only visual witness of their band's music from this first trip to Europe in September 1956.
I have a few LP albums of that 1956 period and from the pictures it appears that Ory's band on this tour had the following musicians in the band.
Alvin Alcorn trumpet, Phil Gomez clarinet, Cedric Heywood piano, Wellman Braud bass and Minor "Ram" Hall on drums

Kid Ory's should not have lost her law suit against Country Joe who obviously misappropriated Kid's melody for his Fixin to Die rag.

Can someone tell me any information about that trumpet player?

@SpeedyNeutrino43 Slow down, boss. That's KId Ory on TB and by the way, he WROTE Muskrat Ramble back in 1925. Not the best quality as far as sound goes, but don't blast a guy for playing his OWN composition. The Assunto's didn't write this, Kid Ory did...

What's that tune at the end of the video?

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

I've heard Freddie Assunto playing the trombone riff and he's much better than this guy.

This looks like it was filmed off a movie screen. I have an original 16mm print of this short, "Tailgate man from New Orleans"
