| 1890 - Fate Marable was born on this day. He was a pianist bandleader from Paducah, Ky. he spent much of his career as a bandleader for boats on the Streckfus Line, which ran several paddlewheelers which held dances and excursions along the river from New Orleans, Louisiana to Minneapolis, Minnesota. Marable appreciated the new "jazz" sound being played by the New Orleans musicians, and the bulk of his band members were recruited from that city. Noted players included Louis Armstrong, Red Allen, Baby Dodds, Johnny Dodds, Pops Foster, Narvin Kimball, Al Morgan and Zutty Singleton. He passed away in January 1947 at the age of 56. |
