PUBLISHER: Will Rossiter (Chicago)
TITLE # : - "ICE AND SNOW"
ARTIST : - Tony Jackson( composer)
INFO A rare 1917 sheet by this legendary New Orleans bawdy house piano man and composer - perhaps Jelly Roll Morton's most admired musician.
Jackson became the most popular and sought after entertainer in the Storyville section of New Orleans. He was said to be able to remember and play any tune he had heard once, and was hardly ever stumped by obscure requests. ( said Morton!) His repertory included ragtime, cakewalks, marches (one of his show stopping tricks was to dance a high kicking cakewalk while playing the piano), popular songs of the day from the United States and various nations of Europe and Latin America, blues and light classics. He was also "openly, almost defiantly gay! After hours, he would go with friends to The Frenchman's saloon, which catered to musicians and cross dressers!
