How to Dress Like a 1930s-'40s New York Jazz Musician
1.) Wear a black rayon SATIN suit while tickling the keys. (Fats Waller, 1938):
2.) Sport a sweaty shirt with a wacky L-O-N-G collar to a jam session. (Duke Ellington, 1939):
3.) Wear clip-on suspenders, a key chain, and an unbuttoned fly as you solo away. (Henry Cowan, 1941):
4.) Pin down the points of your shirt collar with safety pins. (Louis Armstrong, 1942):
5.) While blowing hot, keep cool(?) in leather. (Jack Teagarden, 1939):
6.) An American flag on your derby; pleated pockets on your suit. Yeah! (Jonah Jones, 1937):
7.) Play the skins in your stripes. (George Wettling, 1940):
8.) Indoors? Who cares? Wear your hat at the jam! (Billy Kyle, 1940):
