Film Clip Ory Kid in Paris 1956
In September 1956 Kid Ory and his New Orleans Jazz Band made their first trip to Europe. Her are a few film clips during his stay in Paris. My original short film is in very bad shape, but from a historic point of view I want to share some of it with our dailymotion friends.
Ory in the streets of Paris on his way to the gig.
In the club the band plays part of the "Chimes blues" and also 'Creole Song" a tune sung by Ory in the typical New Orleans patois style.
I have a few LP albums of that 1956 period and from the pictures it appears that Ory's band on this tour had the following musicians in the band.
Alvin Alcorn trumpet, Phil Gomez clarinet, Cedric Heywood piano, Wellman Braud bass and Minor "Ram" Hall on drums
