Description
A NEAR MINT COPY OF THIS ULTRA RARE 1927 ORIGINAL FROM CELESTIN'S ORIGINAL TUXEDO JAZZ ORCHESTRA
Original Tuxedo Jazz Orchestra was named for Tuxedo Dance Hall in New Orleans. The band played there from 1910 to 1913, when the club was closed after a shooting. Papa Celestin , the leader of the band, continued to lead a brass band in the city under the name of the Tuxedo Brass Band after the ballroom closed. In 1917 Celestin formed an earlier version of the orchestra that is represented by these recordings. The Original Tuxedo Jazz Orchestra continued to play throughout the Gulf Coast states until the early 1930s, when the Depression forced Celestin to leave the music business until after World War II. During the Dixieland revival of the late 1940s his music career was revitalized and he continued to play music until his death in 1954. Louis Armstrong, Johnny St. Cyr, and Zutty Singleton all played in Celestin's bands early in their careers
