It was wonderful to hear this story about my Great Uncle Oliver. He was my grand mother's (Amy Cobb-Gaines) brother. My mom said she never met him, but was very proud to tell me about him. I didn't know as much as this video presented. However, the music continues to run through our veins in this present day. My grandmother was also an excellent musician into her last days. Thanks for covering this story of this special person.

I loved hearing about Oliver Cobb, and would love hearing more about his sister, jazz pianist, Amy Cobb Gaines!

Thank you for highlighting the brief career and life of my great-uncle. My grandmother, his sister Amy Cobb Gaines, shared some fun stories about my uncle Oliver. He left home early to pursue his love of jazz due to a conflict of spiritual interest with my great-grandfather, who was a minister. My grandmother, Amy, was also a fantastic musician. She played piano at St. Paul AME Church for many years, bringing a sweet stride piano flavor to early 20th-century Black gospel music in our church. She never told me directly, but after I became a jazz musician, I was sure she learned some of her stride piano feel from Uncle Oliver. There was no other way for her to get that early jazz exposure in a preacher’s home except from my talented great-uncle Oliver. Grandmother was the rehearsal pianist for the children’s choir and the musical director for the yearly spring cotillion, which regularly featured Broadway tunes by Rodgers & Hammerstein, Gershwin, Rodgers & Hart, and others. See where I’m going with this? These were composers whose tunes became jazz standards. And Uncle Oliver’s little sister was swingin’ them in the church. I’m not tellin’ you what I heard; I’m tellin’ you what I know. Additionally, Grandmother was so talented in her piano skills and memorized AME hymnal songs that she accompanied my great-grandfather in his traveling gospel tent campaigns, playing piano for him at the age of nine. Yes! My purpose for sharing this is not to take away from Uncle Oliver’s legacy but to help build it. I believe Uncle Oliver’s talent had a great influence on his little sister’s life and her own legacy at St. Paul AME Church. I never met Uncle Oliver. There was a 30-year period between his death and my birth, but I’m thankful for his abbreviated musical legacy. Again, I don’t know for sure, but I’d like to think a bit of Uncle Oliver’s talent carried over to me and my love for jazz music and my own jazz performances. Here’s to great-uncle Oliver… 🥂🍾 -Uncle Oliver’s St. Louis Nephew

@@percussioninstructor4816 Thank you so much for sharing your amazing and rich family history! I have digitized several of the newspaper clippings and articles I found on the life of your great uncle, if you would like me to email them to you I would be more than happy to!

That would be awesome. I’ve read one, may be two, articles on his career. I’d definitely welcome more. Btw. I don’t see away to privately send my email address to you. Are you able to reach out to me behind the “KZbin curtain?” LOL!

I am absolutely overwhelmed by the brilliance of Royce Martin's playing, scholarship, insight, artistic/historical conception and inspiring love of the music he performs and honors, as well as the culture and creative genius that produced the profoundly rich traditions which are the foundation and springboard for his own masterful and knowledgeable contributions to these genres. Having said that, I must ask, how is it possible that this video doesn't even mention that this piece was composed by the great Willie "the Lion" Smith? One of his most famous works, in fact.! What's the deal, T.J.?

Lovely painted drum head. I have a 28" Ludwig (1920s), but it isn't painted. Calf skin heads though. Of interest is that the snare drum I have - also Ludwig, but the lower Universal brand (1927) - has vintage interior lights - in addition to the Bass Drum which I haven't seen anywhere else. Speaking of which - do you have any suggestions for mounting vintage Chinese Toms? I don't have a vintage holder and can't find any for individual sale. Thanks!

Thanks, TJ, band and Jazz St. Louis! I caught some of the full gig on livestream and finished the recording today. It was such a pleasure! Your informative intros and enthusiasm added to my enjoyment. This song is a sweetie--thanks for excerpting it. I sent the full stream to my favorite 99 year old jazz sax player, who lives in a place you may have heard of :D Newcastle upon Tyne :)

Oh, I want to take a few spins around hearing that. Such happy music will always do that to me. Technology is never so appreciated as in preserving these grand old sounds. Memories may fail and fade, but when I hear this music. I am instantly transported to that heaven.
