Description
Sonny Clay was an outstanding pianist who led bands in California all through the 1920's and 30's. After a period playing drums with Jelly Roll Morton and Kid Ory, he put together groups to play at some of the better nightclubs in Los Angeles and made a handful of recordings that run the gamut from New Orleans style jazz to hot dance music. There is a healthy dose of New Orleans here with cornetist Ernest Coycault, who was a contemporary of Bunk Johnson and Freddie Keppard and some other outstanding players like clarinetist Leonard Davidson, trombonist W.B. Woodman, Sr., and trumpeter Yank Porter
