          Jimmie Noone (April 23, 1895 – April 19, 1944) was an American jazz clarinetist and bandleader. After beginning his career in New Orleans, he led Jimmie Noone's Apex Club Orchestra, a Chicago band that recorded for Vocalion and Decca. Classical composer Maurice Ravel acknowledged basing his Boléro on an improvisation by Noone. At the time of his death Noone was leading a quartet in Los Angeles and was part of an all-star band that was reviving interest in traditional New Orleans jazz in the 1940s.

          Recorded May 5, 1951 in Pomona, CA. Personnel: Kid Ory (trombone), Teddy Buckner (trumpet), Joe Darensbourg (clarinet), Lloyd Glenn (piano), Ed Garland (bass), Minor Hall (drums).
