New Orleans, LA, USA. d. Feb. 25, 1974. One of the Assunto brothers who formed The Dukes Of Dixieland Band. (They were later joined by their father.) Biography ~by Eugene Chadbourne The Italian community in New Orleans has been the source of many active musicians, and the name of the Assunto family will inevitably arise from any tally. Amongst the siblings of trumpeter Frank Assunto were a pair of sisters that shined on piano and woodwinds and brother trombonist Fred Assunto; all grew up studying with their father, banjoist Jacob "Papa Jac" Assunto. It was the pair of brothers that made the most racket on the New Orleans scene, founding a group called the Dukes of Dixieland in 1949. This band, which would eventually become something of an institution, began as a casual one-off for a talent show organized by producer and bandleader Horace Heidt. He appreciated the Assunto assembly enough to ask it on tour, and when the Dukes of Dixieland docked back in New Orleans, the group wound up practically taking over the Famous Door club. This style of jazz--a kind of Dixieland revival minus the rhythmic anarchy of the '20s--began to peak in popularity in the '50s, taking the Assunto brothers' group to a pinnacle of national popularity. The Dukes of Dixieland toured clubs as well as releasing a string of albums and performing on television variety shows. When the group recorded the first jazz album in stereo in 1958, listeners had the unique perspective of hearing one brother on the left channel, the other on the right.&amp;nbsp;The trumpeter's style is of course heavily indebted to Louis Armstrong, whether in mono, stereo or quadrophonic. But Assunto also seems to like the somewhat leaner tone of Bunny Berigan as well as the brighter, flashier approach of Bobby Hackett. Showmanship was also a large part of the Dukes of Dixieland's appeal, the Assunto brothers pretty much the opposite of the type of jazzmen who play with their backs to the audience. Frank Assunto also performed vocal duties with the group. He has on a few occasions been credited with the authorship of the standard "St. James Infirmary". If everyone that has been listed as author of this song in some 500 recorded versions ever battled it out, the body count would no doubt be much higher than even a complete version of the song itself. 1920 Paul GaytenR&amp;amp;B pianist/bandleader/producer/singer-songwriter/label owner (Pzazz)b. New Orleans, LA, USA, d. March 29, 1991, Los Angeles, CA, USA. Biography -&amp;nbsp;by Jim O'Neal Paul Gayten, was a seminal figure in New Orleans rhythm &amp;amp; blues, led a varied career in the music business as a bandleader, producer, label owner, and one-time overseer of the West Coast operation of Chess Records. A nephew of blues-piano legend Little Brother Montgomery, Gayten once led one of the top bands of New Orleans, but he gave up the performing life in 1956 to turn his attention to production and eventually to his own California-based Pzazz label (which featured Louis Jordan, among others). Gayten wrote Larry Darnell's 1949 classic "For You My Love" and recorded a few Top Ten hits of his own for Regal and DeLuxe (1947-1950), some of them with vocalist Annie Laurie.Paul Gayten - WikipediaPaul Gayten - DooWop Cafe 1889 Robert Hall, Clarinetb.

Like Speedy Sparks of Austin, Texas, Livingston's professional music career began as a roadie, although in the Horace Henderson band this position was referred to as "valet."

BIRTHDAYS 1896 Elsie Carlisle Elsie Carlisle (28 January 1896 – November 1977) was a popular English female singer. Originally from Manchester, Elsie became extremely popular during the 1920s and 1930s, recording with many of the big dance bands of the time, as well as solo. She recorded very little after the beginning of the Second World War, and retired from the entertainment industry after about 1946. Her business interests included ballroom dancing venues in south London, a company manufacturing bar accessories, a pub in central London and a hotel/pub in Berkshire. She lived from 1939 until her death in November 1977 in her house in Mayfair in central London. Two songs performed by Elsie Carlisle (accompanied by Ambrose) were featured in the Dennis Potter television eries Pennies From Heaven (1978). "You've Got Me Crying Again" featured in episode "The Sweetest Thing". "The Clouds Will Soon Roll By" featured in episodes "The Sweetest Thing" and "Down Sunnyside Lane". Elsie Carlisle was beyond a doubt the most popular radio performer in England in the '30s. Proof is even available in the form of her nickname, "Radio Sweetheart Number One." She was a slightly small, unassuming performer who in some ways crystallized the idea of the blonde flapper, an image also utilized by American big-band vocalists such as Annette Hanshaw and Ruth Etting. Comparisons to other singers can be made only on the basis of appearance, however. In terms of singing, Carlisle had her own way with material, such as romantic songs and light comedy. Her reputation was complex as well, as she also developed a part of her style devoted to material bordering on the obscene, and also felt hounded by innuendo and gossip concerning her personal life during some stages of her career.&amp;nbsp;She was associated with the top bandleaders in the U.K., and with some of the classiest song material, as well. Carlisle was one of the vocalists with the Ambrose Orchestra, which for more than two decades was considered one of the finest dance bands in the nation. Bandleader Bert Ambrose regarded Carlisle as one of his best singers, and found her one of the most difficult to replace. Decca chose the group as one of its first signings after setting up a British branch, and Carlisle was practically chained to the microphone stand for the prolific recording activity that ensued.&amp;nbsp;She was also associated with bandleaders such as Paul Whiteman and Jack Harris. Harris was a partner of Ambrose, and their orchestras would switch off at the fashionable London club Ciro's during the late '30s. In the early '50s, Carlisle's association with bandleader Jack Hylton seemed to be about more than charts and arrangements; they reportedly had an affair, and for years there was speculation that Carlisle had fathered Hylton's child. Gossip mongers later reversed themselves on this hot topic. A singer who worked with a broad repertoire, Carlisle was nonetheless associated with certain songs, such as the Cole Porter classic "What Is This Thing Called Love?," which she introduced to the public in the first London production of the the musical Wake Up and Dream. She also had a way with comic material, especially in tandem with fellow vocalist Sam Browne; the pair worked together in the Ambrose group, popularizing the ditty "Home James and Don't Spare the Horses," which originated with a country &amp;amp; western publishing house, and also went on tour on their own.&amp;nbsp; Carlisle recorded "My Handy Man," the Andy Razaf classic blues also chosen for its shock value by other singers such as Ethel Waters. This was not Carlisle's only risque touch: "Pu-leeze! Mister Hemingway" was entirely banned by the BBC, which normally worshipped the ground Carlisle walked on. The song was not the only side stricken from the airwaves by the British network -- there were enough banned songs to easily fill a compact disc, which is just what the HMV-Living Era label did with its Listen</itunes:summary><itunes:keywords>Blind Arvella Gray, Biondi, Bobby Sands, Al Dexter, Sweet Emma, Elsie Carlisle, Baby Tate, JANUARY 28TH, JANUARY 28TH birthdays, Delisle, Zilner Randolph, Kansas Joe McCoy, Ray Biondi, Luke Jordan</itunes:keywords><description>Happy Birthday Elsie Carlisle!

Born in New York of German heritage, he attended the New York College of Music and began to break into Broadway theater during the first decade of the century by having songs of his interpolated into shows. An Anglophile and friend of P.G. Wodehouse, Kern scored his first success with songs inserted into The Girl from Utah, a British import, in 1914, including the ballad "They Didn't Believe Me." Breaking away from the European model of waltz music, Kern proved adept at adapting contempoarary dance music into his songs as well as producing subtle, inventive ballads. He collaborated with Guy Bolton and, later, Wodehouse on a series of shows presented at the Princess Theater in the middle of the decade, notably Very Good Eddie, and continued to score successes into the '20s. But Kern really entered the history books with Show Boat (1927), the first truly modern American musical, with an integrated story and such memorable songs as "Ol' Man River" and "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man." Like many of his contemporaries, Kern divided his time between Broadway and Hollywood in the '30s, after sound came into the movies, and his movie hits included the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers film Swing Time, with such songs as "A Fine Romance" and "The Way You Look Tonight" (with lyrics by Dorothy Fields).&amp;nbsp;Kern worked steadily -- he wrote or contributed to 37 shows during his career -- and was beginning work on Annie Get Your Gun when he died suddenly in 1945. He left behind one of the richest catalogs of show music in history. Jerome KernSongwriters Hall of Fame - Jerome Kern Exhibit HomeJerome Kern - WikipediaGreat Performances . Artists .

A Canadian by birth, the woodwind player Alvin Aaron turned out to make one important contribution to jazz: his name would be the first one readers would come across in encyclopedias devoted to this genre, that is if the man wasn't so obscure that many of these volumes don't bother to list him. (He did make Leonard Feather's Encyclopedia of Jazz, however.) He was born Abe Aaron into a musical family. His father headed up a theater band based out of Milwaukee in the '30s, and was hurting enough for section players to take his son under his wing and teach him clarinet and soprano sax. After working with his dad for some dozen years, Aaron began playing alto sax in the Jack Teagarden band in the early '40s. In 1943, Aaron took off for Hollywood, where he got on the radio with the Horace Heidt band. From 1945 through 1947, he was in the band of the underfed Skinnay Ennis, then re-joined Heidt through the end of the decade. After this came the saxman's most successful gig on many levels, a decade long stint with Les Brown &amp;amp; His Band of Renown that involved tours to the Far East as well as throughout Europe. The Brown band recorded frequently for labels such as Coral and Capitol. Aaron also showed up playing bass clarinet on a Kapp jazz recording date led by Billy Usselton, one of Aaron's fellow woodwind players in the Brown band. A collection of Sidney Bechet tunes recorded as a tribute by Brown features some of Aaron's best clarinet and soprano sax solos on record. ~ Eugene ChadbourneAbe Aaron - Wikipedia Abe Aaron: Information from Answers.com 1911Joe AttleseyVocals/Guitar/Mandolin b.
