He is pictured on page 48 of Schafer’s Brass Bands & New Orleans Jazz as Vageon, parading with the Young Excelsior Brass Band at Tulane University in 1964. Schafer also lists a “Leon Bajeon” on trumpet with the Gibson Brass Band around 1945-65 - probably a typographical error, though the correct form is unknown. Bill Russell mentions that in 1944 Abby Williams had a job on Touro Street with George Lewis, Jim Robinson, Slow Drag and Lawrence Marrero, plus a trumpet player called “Jean”: “...........probably Leon Vajean, a former pupil of Bunk’s.” Isubmit that it is reasonable to suppose that these are all references to the same person. A Clive Wilson article in NOM volume 7-3 mentions going to a party in 1964 at Leon Vageon’s house. However, in a later volume Clive gives us the benefit of a thorough search in the 1964 New Orleans Directory: the correct spelling is BAGEON despite what it says in Schafer et al. Also, Per Oldaeus guesses the name is “Bageon” because that’s the name he wrote down, on a pie ce of paper Per has still got, during the funeral for Buster Moore in October, 196619.
