Instrument: trombone

As a brass band musician he played with: Olympia, Onward, Tuxedo Brass Band George McCullum marching band

On baritone horn with the Onward Brass Band from around 1905 and later 1909 trombone16 with the Olympia Orchestra. He joined the Tuxedo Band and also played with Joe Oliver, and Joe Howard’s Band in New Orleans around 1916, after having briefly visited Chicago with Manuel Perez the previous year. He served as a bandsman in the US army during WW1 and after the war, in 1919, he settled permanently in Chicago. What this main entry originally failed to mention (mea culpa) is that in 1923 he probably recorded with King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band. It certainly wasn’t the regular Honoré Dutrey. Ed Atkins was more positively with Joe Oliver in 1924-25 in Dave Peyton’s Symphonic Syncopators at the Plantation Cafe. In May 1926 he recorded with Erskine Tate’s Vendome Orchestra, and in April 1928 he recorded with Fess Williams and his Joy Boys. R&S give his death as c1926 but I am assuming that the date given by Rust for the Fess Williams session is more reliable
With Fess Williams and his Joy Boys he cut a record. The Song For Me - Brian Wood
