| 1988 - James Black, drummer and trumpeter from New Orleans, Louisiana passed away at the age of 48 as a result of a drug overdose. Black was influenced by another great drummer from the Crescent city, Ed Blackwell. Early in his career he recorded 'Going To The Chapel' with the Dixiecups. After becoming a proficient jazz drummer he played and toured with jazz superstars Horace Silver, Lionel Hampton, Nat Perrilat and Cannonball Adderly. In the 70's he joined Dr. John's funk band and inspired the next generation of New Orleans drummers. In the late '60s, Black paid the bills with R&B gigs around New Orleans, and in 1968 caught on at the Scram label as a house drummer. He played on Eddie Bo's "Hook and Sling," helping to make it one of the great New Orleans funk singles, and soon took his place alongside Smokey Johnson and the Meters' Ziggy Modeliste as one of the city's top funky drummers. |
