* Mar 26 1937 New Orleans, La
†

Real name, according to TGOBB: Eddie Noble King, Jr. and played for a number of years with the Olympia Brass Band in the 1950s. Learnt to play trombone whilst living in Ohio, where he was raised. Only known recordings: Chief John & His Mahogany Hall Stompers, 1964; and the Gibson Brass Band, 1963. He played with the Gibson for about a year, replacing Roland Cayette. Perhaps Wendell Brunious (present as a child singer on the Chief John session) knows more. Tom Stagg (1994) volunteered the information that after playing in R&B bands, Eddie injured his elbow and had to give up music. However, in the 1950-2000 anniversary edition of The Second Line there is a recent picture of the Treme Brass Band with someone listed as Eddie King on trombone, confirmed in the TGOBB interview.
