[Dixielandjazz] Where Yaged Made some money

[Steve Barbone]

Forgot to add this about Yaged. Like many jazz musicians, he made some money
playing "Society" music. He probably also played with Lester Lanin and Meyer
Davis Society Bands in NYC. He was classically trained, turned down some
symphony offers and devoted his life to OKOM.

By the late '90s, Yaged was fronting a band called the Felix Swing Band, led
by keyboardist Felix Endico. A successful society orchestra based in New
York's Westchester County (just north of N.Y.C.), the group's repertoire
features arrangements made famous by Goodman, Artie Shaw, Fletcher
Henderson, Chick Webb, Duke Ellington, Earl Hines, and Count Basie.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
