The Original Memphis Five - Snake Hips


The Original Memphis Five was a New Orleans jazz quintet founded in 1917 by trumpeter Phil Napoleon and pianist Frank Signorelli. The group made many recordings between 1921 and 1931, sometimes under different names, including Ladd's Black Aces and Carolina Cotton Pickers. In 1959 Phil moved to Miami, where he ran a club called "Napoleon's Retreat" where he played for many years.
