Daily Double Daily Pete 1951
Cornettist Pete Daily never quite broke into the big time despite his talents and he received less fame than he deserved. Daily worked steadily in Chicago during 1930-1942, with Frank Melrose, Bud Freeman, and Boyce Brown, among others. In 1942 he relocated to California. Daily spent most of the rest of his career fronting small Dixieland bands. The postwar years were a good era for the cornetist, working steadily in the L.A. area. Among Daily's sidemen were Rosy McHargue on clarinet and C-melody sax and pianist Marvin Ash.
In this filmclip from 1951 Pete Daily and his Chicagoans obviously plays one of his own compositions, "Daily Double". The only man next to Pete who I recognize is a young Pud Brown on clarinet.
