艺人介绍

by Scott YanowIt seems strange that Dewey Jackson made so few recordings because he was one of the biggest names in St. Louis jazz of the 1920s and was considered a legend for decades. Jackson played early on with the Odd Fellows Boys Band (1912), Tommy Evans (1916-17) and George Reynolds Keystone Band. After working on riverboats with Charles Creath, Jackson led his Golden Melody band (1920-23). During 1924-41 the trumpeter was a fixture on the riverboats, either heading his own groups (including the St. Louis Peacock Charleston Orchestra) or working as a sideman with Fate Marable and Charlie Creath. The one exception was a four-month stretch in 1926 when Jackson was with Andrew Preers Orchestra at New Yorks Cotton Club. He was only a part-time player in the 1940s, having a day job, but then worked fairly frequently in the 1950s including with Singleton Palmer and Don Ewells Trio (1951). Jackson was active into the 1960s. Dewey Jackson recorded just four titles as a leader (in 1926 including a classic Shes Cryin For Me), in 1927 he recorded with Charlie Creath and in 1950 appeared on a Singleton Palmer record. Among Jacksons sidemen through the years were Pops Foster, Willie Humphrey, Don Stovall and Clark Terry (1937).
