 BIOGRAPHY 
David Louis Bartholomew (December 24, 1918 – June 23, 2019) was an American musician, bandleader, composer, arranger, and record producer. He was prominent in the music of New Orleans throughout the second half of the 20th century. Originally a trumpeter, he was active in many musical genres, including rhythm and blues, big band, swing music, rock and roll, New Orleans jazz, and Dixieland. In his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he was cited as a key figure in the transition from jump blues and swing to R&B and as "one of the Crescent City's greatest musicians and a true pioneer in the rock and roll revolution".

He was born Davis Bartholomew on December 24, 1918 in Edgard, Louisiana, to Mary and Louis Bartholomew. He learned to play his father's preferred instrument, the tuba, then took up the trumpet, taught to him by Peter Davis, who had also tutored Louis Armstrong. Around 1933, Bartholomew moved with his parents to New Orleans, where he played in local jazz and brass bands, including Papa Celestin's, as well as Fats Pichon's band on a Mississippi riverboat. He took charge of Pichon's band in 1941, and after a stay in Jimmie Lunceford's band joined the US Army during World War II. He developed writing and arranging skills as a member of the 196th Army Ground Forces Band.

At the end of the war Bartholomew returned to New Orleans and, by November 1945, had started leading his own dance band, Dave Bartholomew and the Dew Droppers, named after a now-defunct local hotel and nightclub, the Dew Drop Inn. The band became locally popular, described as 'the bedrock of R&B in the city', and, according to the music historian Robert Palmer, was a 'model for early rock 'n' roll bands the world over'. A local journalist wrote of the band, in June 1946: 'Putting it mildly, they make the house 'rock'.' In 1947, they were invited by club owner Don Robey to perform in Houston, Texas, where Bartholomew met Lew Chudd, the founder of Imperial Records.

Bartholomew and his band made their first recordings, including "She's Got Great Big Eyes", at Cosimo Matassa's New Orleans studio for De Luxe Records in September 1947. Their first hit was "Country Boy", credited to Dave Bartholomew and His Orchestra, which reached No.4 in the national Billboard R&B chart in early 1950. Prominent members of the band, besides Bartholomew on trumpet and occasional vocals, were the saxophonists Alvin Tyler, Herb Hardesty, and Clarence Hall, the bass player Frank Fields, the guitarist Ernest McLean, the pianist Salvador Doucette, and the drummer Earl Palmer. They were later joined by the saxophonist Lee Allen ... (Wikipedia)

Cher Alain,

TOUTES les semaines, dans les pages NEW ON BLOG/SOULSEEK XX, j'explique que tant que les liens n'ont pas été tous basculés sur MEGA, il faudra bosser un peu et en cas de liens morts ou erronés chez un artiste, il faudra aller directement sur la collection !! Idem pour la COLLABORATION : aller directement sur l'artiste collaborant à cet autre artiste. Si par malheur il n'est pas encore transféré, me le signaler alors là et là seulement pour que le fasse ASAP.
CHRONOLOGICAL et CHRONOGICAL CLASSICS sont déjà sur MEGA donc il est très facile de retrouver les liens manquants.
Désolé pour tout ce chambardement, indépendant de ma volonté mais même en y passant +8H par jour je ne peux pas tout faire !! (Seulement 40% des 25.000 liens ont été transférés à ce jour ! Effacement des liens sur le blog > DL des archives depuis 1fichier > Conversion des rar en Zip > UP vers MEGA !! (Heureusement que j'ai la fibre maintenant : Ray Charles avait nécessité +1 semaine UP non-stop en ADSL !!)

Amicalement
