JAZZ IN LOS ANGELES
By GEORGE MONTGOMERY
As of the middle of November, the jazz picture around here looks about as follows :
Sidney Catlett's quartet and Eddie South with his trio are featured at the Streets of Paris. The latter is playing good fiddle, but Catlett overemphasizes elaborate drum solos. The place is not crowded as it was in the days of Jimmie Noone's tenure. Catlett is said to have fired his piano player during the middle of a set (alleged cause: firewater).
Zutty Singleton is doing a solo with piano accompaniment a*t the Swanee Inn. His drumming is fine, but he isn't in his element without a real band to drive on. Zutty, Toe Sullivan, Archie Rozzati (clarinet), Artie Shapiro (bass), and Ulysses Livingston (guitar), recently recorded four sides for the new Sunset label. Numbers were Night and Day, Heavy Laden (clarinet, piano and drums only), an untitled boogie and an untitled jump tune.
Wingy Mannone has left the Jade on Hollywood Blvd. for parts unknown. Of late he has strayed from that Dixieland groove. His band sounds more like Joe Banana and his Bunch (music with appeal ) .
Al Casey is at Randinis' with a trio. Coleman Hawkins is scheduled to open at Billy Berg's new joint on November 23rd, and is also lined up for a forthcoming jazz (?) concert.
Here is the latest from the Kid Ory front. Ory has finally made the grade. He has his name up in big red letters in front of the Tiptoe Inn, a pachuco palace, just like all the bigshots around town. And the music is still good. Last summer, Ory, Bud Scott, Omer Simeon, Buster Wilson, Ed Garland, Mutt Carey and Alton Redd, Ory's present drummer, made four sides for Marili Morden's new Crescent label. The numbers are South, Get Out of Here and Go on Home, The Creole Song (sung in Creole by Ory), and Blues for Jimmie in memory of Jimmie Noone.
These records should stand with the very best in the great New Orleans tradition, considering musical as well as recording quality. They are due for release by January 1st.
Red Nichols' Band is leaving the Hayward Hotel for a tour of the coast. Strictly out of this groove.
Leadbelly was here for awhile, played a little, and left for San Francisco.
