fact
1877 - John 'Papa John' Joseph was born on this day. Traditional jazz bassist, clarinetist, guitarist and saxophonist from St. James Parish, Louisiana. He was the brother of clarinetist, Willie Joseph, and came to New Orleans in the early 1900's to lead his own band in Storyville until it closed in 1917. He played in the Claiborne Williams brass band, and also worked with the 'Original Tuxedo Orchestra'. He was a barber by trade and retired to it in the twenties. His music career was revived in the sixties with the coming of Preservation Hall, and He toured internationally with George Lewis in the 1960's. 'Papa John' died in New Orleans on January 22, 1965.
