Wilbur de Paris (January 11, 1900 – January 3, 1973)[1] was a trombone player and band leader known for mixing Dixieland jazz with swing .[2]
Wilbur de Paris was born January 11, 1900, in Crawfordsville, Indiana . His father, Sidney de Paris Sr., was a musician and taught him and his brother Sidney how to play music.[3] He played alto saxophone in his father's circus band.[4]
In 1919, de Paris began his career in Philadelphia in a small band.[5] [3] He visited New Orleans in 1922 and worked with Louis Armstrong and Armand J. Piron . Throughout the 1920s, he worked in Philadelphia and New York, including as band leader.[4] During this time he permanently switched from saxophone to trombone.[6] Among the musicians de Paris worked with were Stuff Smith , Dave Nelson , Noble Sissle (with whom he toured Europe), and Edgar Hayes .[4]
De Paris toured with Teddy Hill's orchestra from 1936–1937 and recorded with the Mills Blue Rhythm Band . Again he joined Louis Armstrong, playing with him from the end of 1937 until the end of the decade.[4]
While De Paris remained an obscure figure during this era, his brother Sidney achieved fame as a trumpet soloist. In 1944, the brothers recorded together for the first time as The DeParis Brothers for Commodore Records , producing four songs.[3] He briefly toured with Ella Fitzgerald and Roy Eldridge before leading his own small band.[7]
In late 1945, de Paris broke up his group to join Duke Ellington with whom he stayed until 1947.[7]
Sponsored by the U.S. State Department , de Paris toured Africa in 1957 as part of the President's International Program for Cultural Relations.[8]
His music is present in the films of Woody Allen , including "In a Persian Market" in The Curse of the Jade Scorpion .[9]
De Paris died in Beekman Downtown Hospital , New York on 3 January 1973.[5] He was survived by two sons and two daughters.[10]
