[Dixielandjazz] Kid Ory

[Steve Barbone]

Wonder what Bill Haesler has to say about the date of Kid Ory's first
recording.

If we accept July 1922 as the date of the Sunshine label for the Ory
recording, then it was not Kid Ory's "first" recording. His band backed
blues singer Ruth Lee on a recording that is dated as June 1922. I think he
also recorded in June 1922 as the backup up band for another blues singer
Roberta Dudley.

What say the discographer, Bill Haesler?

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
