| 1932 - Edward Frank was born on this day. A pianist, organanist, arranger and composer and a native of New Orleans, Louisiana. He was a very popular session musician, and his busiest time as a New Orleans session man was the second half of the fifties. He became a full-time member of Cosimo Matassa's famed studio band, playing on hundreds of record sessions for Imperial, Specialty, Ace, Aladdin and other labels, and if you hear a New Orleans recording from the 1956-60 period, there's a good chance that you are hearing Edward Frank on piano. In 1994 he was one of the six famous musicians brought together for the "Crescent City Gold" CD (on HIgh Street Records), the others being Allen Toussaint, Mac Rebennack, Earl Palmer, Alvin Tyler and Lee Allen. Ed passed away in 1997 at the age of 64. |
