Creole Trombone tells his story from birth on a rural sugar cane plantation in a French-speaking, ethnically mixed family, to his emergence in New Orleans as the city's hottest band leader. The Ory band featured such future jazz stars as Louis Armstrong and King Oliver, and was widely considered New Orleans's top \"hot\" band. Ory's career took him from New Orleans to California, where he and his band created the first African American New Orleans jazz recordings ever made. In 1925 he moved to Chicago where he made records with Oliver, Armstrong, and Jelly Roll Morton that captured the spirit of the jazz age. His most famous composition from that period, \"Muskrat Ramble,\" is a jazz standard. Retired from music during the Depression, he returned in the 1940s and enjoyed a reignited career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on oral history and Ory's unpublished autobiography, Creole Trombone is a story that is told in large measure by Ory himself. The author reveals Ory's personality to the reader and shares remarkable stories of incredible innovations of the jazz pioneer. The book also features unpublished Ory compositions, photographs, and a selected discography of his most significant recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn McCusker\u003c\/b\u003e is a New Orleans native who worked as a photojournalist for three decades at the \u003ci\u003eTimes-Picayune\u003c\/i\u003e and later the \u003ci\u003eNew Orleans Advocate\u003c\/i\u003e.
