Night Life: 1942
April 1942. "Drummer 'Red' Saunders and his band at the Club DeLisa, Chicago." Photo by Jack Delano for the Office of War Information. View full size.
I recorded Red in 1961
when I was producing a series of sessions in Chicago—for the Riverside label.
Red had a good run
Theo 'Red' Saunders and his orchestra were the house band at the DeLisa from 1937 to 1958, with a a brief pause between 1945-47. He did a fair bit of recording during his career and did session work with Woody Herman, Duke Ellington, T-Bone Walker, Big Joe Turner and others.
He had a minor hit in 1952 with the novelty tune "Hambone", which you can hear on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqabSNWG6q4
Red died in Chicago in 1981.
Beat Me, Daddy
Eight to the Bar! From a wonderful era for popular music.
And Red is --
holding his sticks the proper way a drummer should.
