  • Bio

    Oran Thaddeus Page (Dallas, Texas, 27 January 1908 – 4 November 1954 in New York City) jazz trumpeter, singer, bandleader, better known as Hot Lips Page by the public, and Lips Page by his fellow musicians. He was known as a scorching soloist and powerful vocalist. Page gained early experience in the 1920s performing in Texas, playing in Ma Rainey's backup band. From 1928 to 1931, Page was a featured soloist with Walter Page's Blue Devils. In 1932, he joined the exodus of Blue Devils to "Bennie" Moten's band. Page worked with "Count" Basie at the Reno Club before launching a solo career in 1936. Page also played with Bessie Smith and Ida Cox Although Page's big band did alright in the late '30s (recording for Victor), if he had come east with Basie he would have become much more famous. Page was one of the top sidemen with Artie Shaw's orchestra during 1941-1942 and then mainly freelanced throughout the remainder of his career, recording with many all-star groups and always being a welcome fixture at jam sessions. Unfortunately, Page did not enjoy the same prominence as a leader that he had enjoyed as a sideman. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .......... ..........

      A hot sultry night
    and the plants hangin' down.
    And the grass in the pipe smellin' – sweet.
    Groove up the way to the high tide then down,
    with the sound o' that good music beat.

     Hi tHere!
    Thanks for the add.

    I'm a big early blues fan even though my
    music is more of an indie singer songwriter style.
