Jimmie Noone or Jimmy Noone was born on April 23, 1895 in Cut Off, Louisiana and started playing guitar. By 15 he switched to the clarinet, moved to New Orleans, studied with Lorenzo Tio and thirteen year old Sidney Bechet.
1912 found Jimmie playing professionally with Freddie Keppard in Storyville and over the next five years he performed with Buddy Petit, Kid Ory, Papa Celestin, the Eagle Band, and the Young Olympia Band, before moving to Chicago, Illinois and joining the Original Creole Orchestra. The following year, he joined King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Band, then in 1920 reunited with Keppard in Doc Cook’s band, which he would remain and make early recordings for six years.
Noone started leading the band at Chicago’s Apex Club in 1926. This band, Jimmie Noone’s Apex Club Orchestra, included alto saxophonist and clarinetist Joe Poston and pianist Earl Hines. Signing with Brunswick on their Vocalion label her recorded prolifically from 1928 to 1935, then moved to Decca the following year followed with a year at Bluebird.
A move to New York City in 1935 produced a short-lived band and club with Wellman Braud and Noone returned to Chicago. He continued to play at various clubs until 1943, moved to Los Angeles, California, joined Kid Ory’s band, which was featured for a time on a radio program hosted by Orson Welles. After playing only a few broadcasts with the band, the lyrical and sophisticated clarinetist, who would influence later clarinet players such as Artie Shaw, Irving Fazola and Benny Goodman, died suddenly of a heart attack at 48, in Los Angeles, California on April 19, 1944.

Candido was born Candido de Guerra Camero on April 22, 1921 in Havana, Cuba and learned to play percussion as a child listening to the music of his native land. Early in his career, Camero focused on conga and bongo, recording in his native Cuba with fellow jazz musician Machito. Although he has been credited as the first person to use the congas in jazz music, both Diego Iborra and Luciano “Chano” Pozo Gonzales preceded him in the 1940s.
Moving to New York in 1952 he started recording with Dizzy Gillespie and from 1953-54 he was in the Billy Taylor Quartet. The next year saw him performing and recording with Stan Kenton. During the Seventies Candido enjoyed success during the disco era, most notably with the Babatunde Olatunji-penned track “Jingo” from his Dancin’ and Prancin’ album on the Salsoul Record label, that has been acknowledged as a precursor five years prior to the birth of the house music genre.
He has performed and recorded Errol Garner, Gene Ammons, Art Blakey, Sonny Rollins, Wes Montgomery, Elvin Jones and Lionel Hampton on the short list of jazz luminaries. Percussionist Candido was honored with the National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Award in 2008. At 96 years of age he is residing in his home in Cuba.
