Christiern Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 (edited) So who are these people, and what is in the $1.43 thermos bottles? Edited March 15, 2005 by Christiern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 is that a woman on piano? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Meloy Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 is that a woman on piano? Even I got that far Allen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted February 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 That is, indeed, a woman, Allen. And I bet you know her name. I have to confess that I can't ID the other members of this band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Lil Hardin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 (edited) It's the "Original Below the Mason-Dixon Line SERIOUS MOFO Jazz Band." I think their hit song was "No Reason to Smile."

Chuck Nessa Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Roy Palmer on trombone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 love Roy Palmer - one of my old-time favorites - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Lil Hardin, I had recognised. The Roy Palmer tip gave it away: http://www.redhotjazz.com/sugar.html Et voila... Now I want to know about those $1.43 bottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catesta Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 there actually used to be a Roy Palmer CD (done by JRT Davies) - don't know if it's still available, but I love his playing - full of smears and dips, very evocative of that period in jazz - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted March 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 How about this one, taken in Korea on October 31, 1952? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 I'm stumped - how about a hint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Is that Vic Berton on tubs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 BTW, I think the bass player in the first pic in misidentified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted March 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 I'm stumped - how about a hint? I only expect the lady and the sixth man from the left to be known to anyone here, but I will identify all when the time comes. BTW The photo was taken by Pfc Bernard Levy if the Signal Section, 2nd LOG. COMD. It is not, I believe to be found in the recently widely discussed Frank Driggs collection of questionable acquisitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Guess I had better make the IDs: These are members of USO Camp SHow 1076, "Dixieland Jamboree" posing after their performance at the 765th TRSB (whatever that is): From left to right, they are Henry Long, Bass Pruitt, Edward Cornelius, Alberta Hunter, Ken Bryan, Snub Mosely, Bernie Peacock, Willard Brown, and Frank Gabb. BTW, Alberta led the first black USO show to go on the road. It was towards the end of WWII and she covered both the ETO and ICB areas. Here she is in Korea with Major Eisenhower (Ike's son) in 1952, and in 1945 Germany with a Nazi plane and a view from Hitler's pad...
