Art Landry (1896-1990) Art Landry led a jazz dance band during the 1920s that made records which are comparable with the best offerings from other bandleaders of the era. Landry was born in Montreal in 1896. Classically trained as a violinist, he served in the U.S. Marines with saxophonist Rudy Wiedoeft. In 1918, they took themselves to San Francisco where they performed with bands led by Art Hickman and Paul Whiteman. Landry also made a point of sitting in with African-American groups in the district known as the Barbary Coast. By 1922 he was leading his own orchestra, which for awhile spent much of its time on the road. In 1924, Art Landry's Orchestra played the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco and made its first Victor recordings in Oakland. Several important musicians worked with Landry's band. These included pianist Joe Reichman, later known as the Pagliacci of the Piano; arranger and multi-reed player Lyle "Spud" Murphy, as well as pianist and songwriter Jerry Livingston. Landry's biggest recorded hits were "Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue," and "Sleepy Time Gal." Subsequently, he led radio broadcast bands and toured with theater pit orchestras. He and his wife Ann hosted a TV show on WCAX in Vermont, and then moved to Florida. Landry passed away in Sarasota at the age of 94. There are many hot solos in these arrangements.
