[Dixielandjazz] Clarinet Show this week on Riverwalk Jazz

[Donald Mopsick]

Moldy Clarinet Aficionados (you know who you are):

This week (starting today) on Riverwalk Jazz it's the show Evan Christopher
produced about the Tio Clarinet Dynasty of New Orleans. He brought in a few
of the Armand Piron/Lorenzo Tio tunes that don't get played very often by
most trad bands such as "New Orleans Wiggle." From the JazzNotes:

A long line of New Orleans musicians who would become jazz greats took
music lessons from the Tio family. There was Barney Bigard, a mainstay in
the Duke Ellington Orchestra; Omer Simeon, hand picked by Jelly Roll Morton
for his legendary recording sessions in the 1920s; Jimmy Noone, whose
virtuosity inspired Benny Goodman; and Sidney Bechet, one of the most
distinctive solo voices in jazz.

Almost everyone who plays jazz clarinet in a classic style today can trace
his, or her, musical lineage back to the Tio family of New Orleans. There
were three key members of the family working when the first stirrings of
jazz began to be felt in New Orleans—Lorenzo Tio, born in 1893; his father,
Lorenzo Tio, Sr., born in 1867; and his uncle, Louis “Papa” Tio, born in
1862.
