Buddy Petit

Among the great unrecorded New Orleans legends (along with Friend Bolden, Chris Kelly and Manuel Perez), Friend Petit (who was simply designed to have had a lovely shade) was very highly regarded by his contemporaries. Petit was a specialist as an adolescent, using the Youthful Olympia Music group and co-leading an organization with Jimmie Noone. In 1917, Petit journeyed to California to try out with Jelly Move Morton but he quickly returned home. Through the remainder of his existence, Petit primarily performed in New Orleans, additional Louisiana cities and sometimes Florida, frequently leading either the Adolescent Olympians or his Dark and Tan Orchestra. He stopped at California once again in 1922 as an associate of Frankie Dusen’s group but in any other case remained in the South. Excessive taking in resulted in his early demise, although he performed a job your day before his loss of life.
