[Dixielandjazz] Riverside Album "Sounds of New Orleans" personnel question

[David Richoux]

I have one Armand Hug LP (10 inch) - pretty good!

can't say for sure if it was his given name, but I did find this:

> A superior New Orleans-style pianist, Armand Hug tended to be  
> underrated throughout his life, but his many recordings are still  
> quite enjoyable. Hug spent much of his life in his native New  
> Orleans, where he began playing in public in 1923. He joined Harry  
> Shields' band in 1926, worked a bit with the New Orleans Owls in  
> 1928, and made his recording debut with Sharkey Bonanoin 1936. Hug  
> primarily performed as a solo pianist, having long residencies at  
> various clubs and also hosting his own series on local television.  
> Armand Hug recorded as a leader for New Orleans Bandwagon, Capitol,  
> Good Time Jazz, Circle, Paramount, Southland, and Golden Crest,  
> along with three fine albums in the 1970s for Swaggie. ~ Scott

Born: Dec 06, 1910, Died: Mar 19, 1977 both in New Orleans.

People sometimes give their kids strange names! (Looks like there was  
a Swiss automobile racer born in 1912 who had the same name.)
