Hitch (1897-1988) on piano, Dewey Lee Neal (1898-1954) on sax, tenor, and bass, Maurice B. May (1901-1957) on banjo, and Earl McDowell on drums. According to Evansville at the Bend in the River, "The 1920s atmosphere was steeped in jazz, and many bands popped up in Evansville. [This band] performed regularly in Evansville and often on the Indiana University campus in Bloomington. The band assured itself a niche in musical history when it became the first to record the works of a young Bloomington composer named Hoagy Carmichael." 001529645 542__ $$fhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-NC/1.0/ 001529645 6531_ $$aArtists 001529645 6531_ $$aArts and Entertainment 001529645 6531_ $$aPeople and Communities 001529645 6531_ $$aPhotographs 001529645 6531_ $$aRelated Materials -- 1901-1950 001529645 655__ $$aBlack and White Photograph 001529645 691__ $$aUnknown 001529645 7001_ $$aUnknown 001529645 8564_ $$9a8787676-32b4-474d-8de6-f301f8d014be$$s1359053$$uhttps://library.usi.edu/record/1529645/files/3766.jpg 001529645 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1529645$$pGLOBAL_SET 001529645 914__ $$ap17218coll2 001529645 980__ $$aSpecial & Regional History Collection 001529645 984__ $$aCurt Hitch Collection 001529645 985__ $$aImage
