*** 1926 West Coast Jazz ***
Fabulous 1920s Californian Jazz orchestra led by pianist, drummer, and bandleader Sonny Clay (1899-1973)
Sonny Clay's Plantation Orchestra played Plantation Café in Culver City, California in the mid-1920s. The nightclub was located on Washington Boulevard, at Elenda Street, across the street from La Ballona School. Silent film comedian Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle owned the club from 1928 to 1930. The orchestra's first record was released under the name of the California Poppies in 1923. They also released records under the name of The Stompin' Six in 1925. The band had some strong ties with the New Orleans Jazz scene. Trumpet player Ernest Coycault was from Violet, Louisiana a small town about 15 miles north of the city. Coycault had played in the Peerless Orchestra and had replaced Bunk Johnson in the Superior Orchestra while living in New Orleans. In 1914 he moved to Los Angeles to join Clay's band. Sonny Clay himself had played drums in Jelly Roll Morton's band in Mexico and Southern California in and with Kid Ory's Creole Orchestra in California in the early 1920s. Chicago Breakdown is one of Morton's songs that Louis Armstrong and his Stompers also recorded in 1927.
