Re: Continuing correspondence about Tom Morgan’s book about historic New Orleans Jazz Photos.  

Readers will call recent review of the book by Charlie Suhor.  Veteran New Orleans bassist, Pat Cooke wrote.

See continuing post s and his explanation of a photo he donated to the LA State Museum Jazz Collection.

 

Thanks, Pat.

I got the book.  Most of the pictures are from the Louisiana State Museum Jazz Colledtion.  The caption on the picture on page 77states "Pictured is clarinetist Irving Fazola and two unidentified musicians" 

 

The two "unidentified musicians" are Ogden LaFaye on piano, and myself on bass.  This picture was donated to the museum by me in 1995.  My niece works at the museum, and she is going to be sure that the identifications are there, and if not, she will add them.

Thanks , Pat.  When you see the book , write and let me know.  I’ll post your message if you wish.  Missed you at Jingle Jazz.  Bob Andrews played bass.  I’ll send pix.

 

Hope you’re feeling better.

    I just read your email about Tom Morgan's book of historic photos of New Orleans jazz.  Charlie Suhor mentions in listing some of the book's contents a picture of Irving Fazola's Trio.  I'm sure Fazola had more than one trio in his short but illustrious career, but there is one picture of the trio at radio station WTPS, that I was part of.  I gave a picture of that trio to the New Orleans Jazz museum at the old Mint on Esplanade Ave, and was just wondering if it's the same picture.  I'm going to Metairie, and I'll have to stop at Barnes & Noble and see if I can find the book.  

 

Thanks,

                                                            ---end--
