Nat Gonella

Influenced by Louis Armstrong, Nat Gonella within the 1930s could possibly be regarded as the Wingy Manone or Louis Prima of England. He began playing within the jazz-oriented dance rings of Billy Natural cotton, Roy Fox, Ray Noble, and Lew Rock from 1929 to 1934 before leading his personal music group, the Georgians, called therefore because his edition of “Georgia on My Brain” was well-known. Although he stopped at and played within the U.S. in 1939, Gonella thought we would stay in Britain where he produced many information during 1932-1942, several within the mid-’40s, and became much less prominent. In 1958, he shaped the brand new Georgia Jazz Music group (which recorded regularly during the following 3 years) and he continued to be a dynamic and popular shape into the past due ’70s, dying in 1998. Nat Gonella’s recordings are well worth investigating by golf swing and Dixieland enthusiasts.
