Jack Carey

Jack Carey (* 1889 in Hahnville, Louisiana, † 1934) was an American trombonist and bandleader of the early New Orleans jazz.

He was the older brother of trumpeter Mutt Carey. Carey first played in 1910 in the Brass Band of Henry Allen in Algiers (Louisiana ). He also played for a time in the Eagle Band. He was from 1913 to 1920 director of the Crescent Orchestra (or Crescent City Orchestra ), early jazz and ragtime band. 1913 included, in addition to Carey: Mutt Carey Cornet, Wade Whaley or Willie Humphrey on clarinet, Tubby Hall on drums, Wiley " Pep " King on bass, Charlie Moore on guitar. Later there played Pops Foster bass (1916 ), Manuel Manetta violin, George Caldwell and George Boyd clarinet, Lorenzo Staulz (or Staultz ) guitar and Papa Celestin.

He is considered by some authors ( such as Samuel Charters ) attributed the authorship of the Jazz Standard Tiger Rag, the Nick LaRocca of the Original Dixieland Jass band is attributed (and Jelly Roll Morton ). After that, he was built from an old French quadrille and under the name Jack Carey or Play Jack Carey in black and Creole musicians in New Orleans known ( and among white musicians as nigger No.2). Also other standard material of the Original Dixieland Jass band should come from Carey. Carey is said to have once again worked much French melodies and pieces from the band of Buddy Bolden, which he led in the ragtime style.

Sometimes a role in the development of the tailgate trombone style of game it is awarded in New Orleans, along with Kid Ory.

In 1919 Punch Miller by Carey Head of Crescent City Orchestra, Carey played but continue to parades in New Orleans in the 1920s in the Brass Band from Kid Rena.
