[Dixielandjazz] Jewish singer

[EDWIN COLTRIN]

A subject of Family conversation was the story(?) that my Grandfather, a Tenor, a member of the Mormon Male choir.  During the early 1900s was a paid Cantor for a local synagogue. As I recall there never an adverse comment about his participation. Don't  know if he was able t speak Hebrew, or if they translated into English for him.
 
"Cow-Cow Davenport", Smith ,Ramsey, et al relate that "Cow-Cow Blues' was written by Davenport after his first wife left him and was recorded on Vocalion 1198. . Back side was "State Street Jive" , a piano solo with Ivy Smith doing the talking. Recorded in 1928.
