Kid Ory Artist Snapshot:

The first great trombonist in jazz history, Kid Ory's roots as a player stretch all the way back to the music's inception. His first band was formed in 1912, and it quickly became one of the most popular in New Orleans, featuring such greats as King Oliver, Louis Armstrong, Johnny Dodds, and Sidney Bechet. His 1922 recording sessions were the first by an all-black group. A break in the '30s to work on his brother's chicken farm was followed by a return to musical prominence in the '40s. Having lost none of its vigor or expressiveness, Kid Ory's Creole Jazz Band became a treasure of the traditional-jazz revival.

Title Note

Personnel: Kid Ory, Alvin Alcorn, Phil Gomez, Lionel Reason, Julian Davidson, Wellman Braud, Minor Hall.

Kid Ory was one of the pivotal figures of early jazz, and his approach to the trombone influenced virtually everyone that followed him. That he was mentor to the likes of King Oliver and Louis Armstrong is no small credit to his name either. Though Ory's glory days were in the 1920s and '30s, he continued playing and recording all through the '40s, '50s, and '60s.

LEGENDARY KID was recorded in 1955, and though the jazz world had been revolutionized by the advent of bebop, Ory was nowhere near his expiration date and could still swing with the best of them, as he proves on this set. In a small-group setting, the Kid runs through such classics as "Mahogany Hall Stomp" and "At the Jazz Band Ball," and ends up with one of the finest albums in his discography.
