Kid Ory and Henry "Red" Allen - live and in studio 1959
Kid Ory's Creole Jazz Band was one of the most consistently popular group in the New Orleans/Dixieland Jazz Revival from the middle 1940's through the mid 1960's. For this version of the band, Ory hired the great trumpeter Red Allen for a European tour in the fall of 1959. Prior to this, they recorded an album for Verve also featuring Bob McCracken on clarinet, Cedric Haywood on piano and Alton Redd on drums and vocals. Tracks from the album and a live date in Berlin are the focus of this podcast. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-clark49/support
