Unknown Jazz Band circa 1930 Any Help out There?


Large 8 x 10 photo I found recently.  Early Jazz Band.  Can anyone ID for me?

  1. I'm guessing late 1920s. That they had enough popularity to warrant an expensive 8x10 promotional photo indicates they weren't unknown. The city or region where you found it might give a clue. Chicago?

    I copied and enhanced the photo a bit to try to identify at least one player, no dice.

  2. P.S. Note that the clarinet / alto sax player is the only one wearing spats. This suggests that he's the band leader.

  3. Thanks SO much Bunk. I was thinking the same thing about them being photographed in that manner, but still haven't gotten a clue. I really, really appreciate you taking the time. Jim Linderman
