[Dixielandjazz] Charles Bocage

[Mike Durham]

OK: some detail on Peter Bocage: born Algiers, La July 13 1887. Played 
violin, banjo, trumpet & trombone.. With Billy Marrero's Superior Orch (with 
Bunk) circa 1910. Around 1913, played in Joe Oliver's band at Pete Lala's 
saloon. Sometime around 1918 was with A J Piron Orch (playing trumpet and 
violin), then Fate Marable. Led his own Creole Serenaders from 1928. Zenith 
Brass Band 1946. In Eureka Brass Band in the 1960's, back on violin with the 
Love-GilesRagtime Orch (and other groups) and a regular on trumpet at 
Preservation Hall until his death on 3 December 1967. I'm sure there's more 
to be dug out in the reference books.......
