[Dixielandjazz] More Litte Italy!

[fred spencer]

Dear Bill.
Apologies, I forgot about the Assuntos. From "The New Grove Dictionary
of Jazz, 2 ed."
"Papa Jac, b Lake Charles, LA, 1 Nov 1905; d. New Orleans, 5 Jan 1985
Freddie, b Jennings, LA, 3 Dec 1929; d. Las Vegas, NV, 21 April 1966
Frank, b New Orleans, 29 Jan 1932; d New Orleans, LA, 25 Feb 1974"
Donald L. Morris lists "Tony Assunto" as being an Italian New Orleans
musician born before 1914. Was there an Assunto of this name? He is not
listed in Rose and Souchon's "New Orleans Jazz Family Album" with the
others.
Regards
Fred
