Our group, the St. James Society from Holy Cross, played as relief band for the de Paris band in Jimmy Ryan’s on 52nd St. On Sundays in 1958 and 1959. A great life long memory of a great band.
Wow, thank you for sharing! I'd love to hear your story sometime! Please reach out to me if would like to share more. My email is storyville.tales@gmail.com. Hopefully we can talk over phone or video!
Also from 60 years ago I remember practising to their record of Martinique when I first started to pay the drums. Still love and play this number. Even have it as a ringing tone on my phone
This great band led by the highly underrated Wilbur DeParis was a fixture during the late 1950s at Jimmy Ryan's on 52nd near 7th. I used to hang out there after plays and concerts, and it never got old! Those were the days. Five blocks south there was Red Allen, Higgy, Buster, and Cozy holding forth at the Metropole
Original version. Wilbur composed it. Mentioned it to Chris Barber on one of my visits to the UK. He sort of apologized by telling me that he didn't have enough instruments to do it justice. I pointed out truthfully that I had always preferred his version, and still did. Still do, for that matter.
When was this recorded , are any of them alive today? Probably not as Wilbur de Paris was playing at the time of Sidney Bechet and Doc Cheetham died in 2019 or 2018
One of my favorite bands. So beautiful!

A hypnotic track by a wonderful band - did not know Doc Cheatham was involved, but he's a major player!
50 years ago when I started to play drums this is one of the bands whose records I used to practice to
What a great sound! Outstanding!!
So clean and classy! Wow!
Sublime
Thank you for sharing. The New New Orleans Jazz Band had been my favourite jaz band sixty years ago. This comes back my teenagers years.

A. Little unusual as the banjo player, Lee Blair (I think) and the drummer were left handed.
Yes. The odds on that happening are astronomical. The drummer was Wilbur Kirk.

Doc Cheetham died in 1997....
