Leon Roppolo is remembered as a pioneer of the jazz solo. At about age eleven he began performing on the New Orleans lakeshore and in Bucktown. His New Orleans Rhythm Kings (also known as the Friars Society Orchestra) recorded Milenburg Joys in 1923. Pictured here are Leon Roppolo and Louis Prima in 1924 at the lakefront.
