| 1985 - Eurreal Wilford (Little Brother) Montgomery, a blues and boogie woogie pianist and a native of Kentwood, Louisiana passed away on this day at the age of 79. He was influenced by Jelly Roll Morton who visited. Early on he played with the bands of Clarence Desdunes and Buddy Petit. He first went to Chicago from 1928 to 1931, where he made his first recordings. His repertoire alternated between blues and traditional jazz (he played Carnegie Hall with Kid Ory's Dixieland band in 1949). In the late 1950s he toured briefly with Otis Rush. Among his original compositions are "Shreveport Farewell", "Farrish Street Jive", and "Vicksburg Blues". |
