fact
1959 - Omer Simeon, traditional jazz clarinetist from New Orleans, Louisiana passed away on this day. He was born in 1902, and, although a native of New Orleans, it's doubtful that he ever played there. He was a pupil of the famous Lorenzo Tio, Jr., and played with many big name orchestras of the era. He performed with Charlie Elgar, King Oliver, Erskine Tate, Jelly Roll Morton, Earl 'Fatha' Hines and Coleman Hawkins over his career. He was recorded many times, until just before his death in New York.
