Sidney Desvigne
Sidney Desvigne (September 11, 1893 – December 2, 1959) was an American jazz trumpeter.
Desvigne played in a large number of noted 1910s and 1920s-era New Orleans Jazz ensembles, including Leonard Bechet's Silver Bell Band, the Maple Leaf Orchestra, the Excelsior Brass Band, and Ed Allen's Whispering Gold Band. He and Fate Marable often played together on riverboats. In 1926 Desvigne formed his own orchestra, Sidney Desvigne's Southern Syncopators, playing at St. Bernard's Country Club and on the S.S. Island Queen; among his sidemen were Red Allen, Pops Foster, and Al Morgan.
Desvigne attempted to create a New Orleans big band in the 1930s, hoping to capitalize on the swing jazz craze. In the 1950s he left New Orleans and opened a club in Los Angeles.

Club Hangover Jan. 30, 1954
Earl Hines (piano, leader), Dickie Wells (trombone), Gene Redd (trumpet), Morris Lane (tenor sax, vibes), Ed Burns (drums), Carl Pruitt (bass)
Piano intermission feature by “Fats “Pichon, “Sweet Lorraine”
Earl “Fatha” Hines (1903-1983) was among the most popular headliners at the club, often blending in his band well-known veteran musicians like trombonists Dickie Wells or Jimmy Archey with talented younger musicians. An early jazz innovator Hines was known for making the piano a voice equal to the frontline horns. Club owner Doc Dougherty allowed him broad stylistic range for the hybrid Jumping Swing/Dixieland style he was purveying in those years.
Hines’ forward-leaning Esquire All-Star combos favored a Mainstream aesthetic, blending elements of Bop, Dixieland, Kansas City, Chicago and Harlem Jazz. For an added thrill, trombonist Dickie Wells often brought his swinging eloquence to the combos. Best of all Earl’s superb piano chops -- his famed single finger, melodic ‘Trumpet-style’ piano technique and penchant for free rhythms -- were prominently featured and picked up well by the broadcast microphones.
Walter “Fats” Pichon (1906-1967) was born and raised in New Orleans, played in brass bands by age fourteen and later ran excellent bands on the SS Capitol Mississippi riverboat. He had early professional success in New York with Luis Russell and recorded with trumpeter Henry “Red” Allen, guitarist Teddy Bunn, Joe King Oliver and Mamie Smith.
Pichon returned to New Orleans by the end of the 1920s, and according to the Grove Dictionary of Jazz “led his own band at the Pelican Café and worked with Sidney Desvigne on the SS Island Queen (for riverboat jobs he sometimes played calliope).” Fats briefly had a regular acting role on the beloved network radio comedy “Duffy’s Tavern.” He enjoyed a longstanding residency at the “Old Absinthe House” on Bourbon Street in New Orleans in the 1950s; in the 1960s he toured the country and Latin America.

Piano intermission feature by “Fats “Pichon, “Sweet Lorraine”
Earl “Fatha” Hines (1903-1983) was among the most popular headliners at the club, often blending in his band well-known veteran musicians like trombonists Dickie Wells or Jimmy Archey with talented younger musicians. An early jazz innovator Hines was known for making the piano a voice equal to the frontline horns. Club owner Doc Dougherty allowed him broad stylistic range for the hybrid Jumping Swing/Dixieland style he was purveying in those years.
Hines’ forward-leaning Esquire All-Star combos favored a Mainstream aesthetic, blending elements of Bop, Dixieland, Kansas City, Chicago and Harlem Jazz. For an added thrill, trombonist Dickie Wells often brought his swinging eloquence to the combos. Best of all Earl’s superb piano chops -- his famed single finger, melodic ‘Trumpet-style’ piano technique and penchant for free rhythms -- were prominently featured and picked up well by the broadcast microphones.
Walter “Fats” Pichon (1906-1967) was born and raised in New Orleans, played in brass bands by age fourteen and later ran excellent bands on the SS Capitol Mississippi riverboat. He had early professional success in New York with Luis Russell and recorded with trumpeter Henry “Red” Allen, guitarist Teddy Bunn, Joe King Oliver and Mamie Smith.
Pichon returned to New Orleans by the end of the 1920s, and according to the Grove Dictionary of Jazz “led his own band at the Pelican Café and worked with Sidney Desvigne on the SS Island Queen (for riverboat jobs he sometimes played calliope).” Fats briefly had a regular acting role on the beloved network radio comedy “Duffy’s Tavern.” He enjoyed a longstanding residency at the “Old Absinthe House” on Bourbon Street in New Orleans in the 1950s; in the 1960s he toured the country and Latin America.

" She's a Cool Operator "
Celebrating exactly 69 years that Ransom Knowling recorded this great song with a unique bass line due his brilliance style here goes my tribute to this Master.
**** Ransom Knowling ****
Robert Ransom Knowling was born in June 24 ,1912, in Vicksburg, Mississippi.
He is best known for playing bass on hundreds of Blues recordings made in Chicago between the 1930s and 1960s.
He began playing professionally around 1930 in the New Orleans bands led by Sidney Desvigne and Joe Robichaux.
By the late 1930s, he had moved to Chicago, and played on many of the Blues records made in the city, including those by the Harlem Hamfats, Big Bill Broonzy, Roosevelt Sykes, Washboard Sam, Sonny Boy Williamson, T-Bone Walker, Tommy McClennan, Muddy Waters, Big Joe Williams, Arthur Crudup and an endless list of others heavy ícons of this field.
As well as bass, he played violin and tuba and we can enjoy his tuba playing on many great songs recorded in the early 40's by the great singer and composer Doctor Clayton.
His death certificate reports he was born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, son of Ransom Knowling and Virginia Sims. He was married to Viola at the time of his death. He died in Chicago in 1967, at the age of 55.
Ransom Knowling is a great master who carved his name in the Blues history and will be never forgotten!
Thanks for watching this series that I've created to celebrate and spread some of the Masters magnificent art and I'm definitely making it with passion and dedication as far as my limited capacity goes.

**** Ransom Knowling ****
Robert Ransom Knowling nasceu em 24 de junho de 1912, em Vicksburg, Mississippi.
Conhecido por tocar baixo acústico em centenas de gravações de Blues feitas em Chicago entre as décadas de 1930 e 1960, Ransom começou a tocar profissionalmente por volta de 1930 nas bandas de Nova Orleans lideradas por Sidney Desvigne e Joe Robichaux.
No final da década de 1930, ele se mudou para Chicago e tocou em muitos dos discos de Blues feitos na cidade, incluindo Harlem Hamfats, Big Bill Broonzy, Roosevelt Sykes, Washboard Sam, Sonny Boy Williamson, T-Bone Walker, Tommy McClennan, Muddy Waters, Big Joe Williams, Arthur Crudup e centenas de outros ícones do Blues.
Além de baixo, tocava violino e tuba e, inclusive, podemos apreciar suas gravações no começo dos anos 40 com o grande cantor e compositor Doctor Clayton, que estrelam Ransom na tuba.
Seu atestado de óbito relata que ele nasceu em Vicksburg, Mississippi, filho de Ransom Knowling e Virginia Sims.
Ransom morreu em Chicago em 1967, com 55 anos, casado com Viola.

Herb was the brother of Edmond Hall and the son of clarinetist Edward Hall. He began on banjo with the Niles Jazz Band (1923–25), then settled on reeds. In 1926 he played with Kid Augustin Victor in Baton Rouge, and moved to New Orleans the following year.

"Sweet Emma" Barrett (March 25, 1897, New Orleans, Louisiana – January 28, 1983) was an American self-taught jazz pianist and singer who worked with the Original Tuxedo Orchestra between 1923 and 1936. Ffirst under Papa Celestin, then William Ridgely. Also active with Armand Piron, John Robichaux, and Sidney Desvigne, Sweet Emma Barrett was at her most powerful in the early 1960s and became an iconic figure with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
She was nicknamed Bell Gal because she wore a red skull cap and garters with Christmas bells that jingled in time with her music. Despite the popular exposure she received at concerts and overseas appearances, Barrett continued to feel most comfortable in her native New Orleans, especially the French Quarter. In 1967, she suffered a stroke that paralyzed her left side, but she continued to work and occasionally, to record, until her death in 1983. This feature was produced by the wellknown Swedish music journalist Olle Helander!

Celebrating exactly 69 years that Ransom Knowling recorded this great song with a unique bass line due his brilliance style here goes my tribute to this Master.
**** Ransom Knowling ****
Robert Ransom Knowling was born in June 24 ,1912, in Vicksburg, Mississippi.
He is best known for playing bass on hundreds of Blues recordings made in Chicago between the 1930s and 1960s.
He began playing professionally around 1930 in the New Orleans bands led by Sidney Desvigne and Joe Robichaux.
By the late 1930s, he had moved to Chicago, and played on many of the Blues records made in the city, including those by the Harlem Hamfats, Big Bill Broonzy, Roosevelt Sykes, Washboard Sam, Sonny Boy Williamson, T-Bone Walker, Tommy McClennan, Muddy Waters, Big Joe Williams, Arthur Crudup and an endless list of others heavy ícons of this field.
As well as bass, he played violin and tuba and we can enjoy his tuba playing on many great songs recorded in the early 40's by the great singer and composer Doctor Clayton.
His death certificate reports he was born in Vicksburg, Mississippi, son of Ransom Knowling and Virginia Sims. He was married to Viola at the time of his death. He died in Chicago in 1967, at the age of 55.
Ransom Knowling is a great master who carved his name in the Blues history and will be never forgotten!
Thanks for watching this series that I've created to celebrate and spread some of the Masters magnificent art and I'm definitely making it with passion and dedication as far as my limited capacity goes.

**** Ransom Knowling ****
Robert Ransom Knowling nasceu em 24 de junho de 1912, em Vicksburg, Mississippi.
Conhecido por tocar baixo acústico em centenas de gravações de Blues feitas em Chicago entre as décadas de 1930 e 1960, Ransom começou a tocar profissionalmente por volta de 1930 nas bandas de Nova Orleans lideradas por Sidney Desvigne e Joe Robichaux.
No final da década de 1930, ele se mudou para Chicago e tocou em muitos dos discos de Blues feitos na cidade, incluindo Harlem Hamfats, Big Bill Broonzy, Roosevelt Sykes, Washboard Sam, Sonny Boy Williamson, T-Bone Walker, Tommy McClennan, Muddy Waters, Big Joe Williams, Arthur Crudup e centenas de outros ícones do Blues.
Além de baixo, tocava violino e tuba e, inclusive, podemos apreciar suas gravações no começo dos anos 40 com o grande cantor e compositor Doctor Clayton, que estrelam Ransom na tuba.
Seu atestado de óbito relata que ele nasceu em Vicksburg, Mississippi, filho de Ransom Knowling e Virginia Sims.
Ransom morreu em Chicago em 1967, com 55 anos, casado com Viola.
Ransom Knowling é um mestre que marcou para sempre seu nome na história do Blues e jamais será esquecido!

Sidney Desvigne
Sidney Desvigne (September 11, 1893 – December 2, 1959) was an American jazz trumpeter.
Desvigne played in a large number of noted 1910s and 1920s-era New Orleans Jazz ensembles, including Leonard Bechet's Silver Bell Band, the Maple Leaf Orchestra, the Excelsior Brass Band, and Ed Allen's Whispering Gold Band. He and Fate Marable often played together on riverboats. In 1926 Desvigne formed his own orchestra, Sidney Desvigne's Southern Syncopators, playing at St. Bernard's Country Club and on the S.S. Island Queen; among his sidemen were Red Allen, Pops Foster, and Al Morgan.
Desvigne attempted to create a New Orleans big band in the 1930s, hoping to capitalize on the swing jazz craze. In the 1950s he left New Orleans and opened a club in Los Angeles.
