Buddy Petit's Jazz Band. Covington, Louisiana. 1920
From left to right: unknown, Eddie "Face-O" Woods (drums), George Washington (trombone), Buddy Petit (cornet), Buddy Manaday (banjo), Edmond Hall (clarinet) and Chester Zardis (bass).
Anyone cares to identify the man on the left? Could it be Pill Coycault, Sadie Goodson or "Chinee" Foster, all of whom were part of Petit's band in those years?

From John Royen:
ResponderEliminar"Yes, he was very old then... late 80s. He died in his mid 90s. Played a string straight four beat but very clear harmonic movement.He was one of the few guys left that remembered Bolden."
