Frank "Big Boy" Goudie (September 13, 1899 – January 9, 1964) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist and clarinetist.
Goudie was born in Youngsville, Louisiana, but raised in New Orleans, where he played cornet in Papa Celestin's Original Tuxedo Band and other groups. As a young man, his great height earned him the nickname "Tree". He played in the Southern United States and Mexico through the first half of the 1920s, then moved to Europe, settling in France in 1925 and switching to reeds. While in Europe he played with Benny Peyton, Louis Mitchell, Sam Wooding, Noble Sissle, Freddy Johnson, Bill Coleman (1937), and Willie Lewis (1935-38). Goudie played often and recorded with Django Reinhardt, the Gypsy guitar wizard; at times the two of them would play at a back table in some café late at night, "real soft, just for ourselves". In Europe he carried a wicker suitcase full of upholstery tools with which to augment his income and another case full of pots and pans. He left Paris shortly after the outbreak of World War II and lived in South America during the war, playing with his own small groups there.
In 1946 he moved back to France, playing there with Arthur Briggs, Harry Cooper and Coleman again (1949-51). Between 1951 and 1956 he led his own group in Berlin, after which he returned to the United States. Late in his life he played clarinet with Marty Marsala and Earl Hines. He finished his career in San Francisco, where he was a valued fixture at weekly big band jam sessions with Burt Bales at Pier 23. He died in San Francisco, aged 64.
Jean Reinhardt "Django" was born to Gypsy parents on the 24th January in 1910 at Liberchiesin Belgium. As a child he travelled throughout France, Italy and North Africa. At the age of ten the tribe took to a more permanent lifestyle at the Parisian port de Choisy. It is first reported that he accompanied his father on violin banjo and guitar at fêtes and festivals at a young age.He was an accomplished musician working in Paris when at the age of eighteen the caravan in which he was sleeping was ravaged by fire. Apparently his wife had filled the caravan that day with bunches of dried flowers. During the night Django got up and knocked a candle over setting the flowers ablaze. His left leg, and the third and forth digits on his left hand were terribly burnt. The doctors wanted to amputate the leg as it was so badly damaged, but Django refused. Some thought that this was bound to be the end to a promising career.
But, with great foresight, his doctor recommended that Django be given a guitar as therapy. Django rose to the challenge and persevered, giving rise to the style of playing that was eventually to create a storm the world over.
In 1930 he first heard recordings of Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong. This was a revelation to him and sent him onto the path of swing jazz. In 1934 he formed "The Quintet Hot Club de France" with the violinist Stephan Grapelli, his brother Joseph and R. Chaput on guitar and L. Vola on bass. It was at this point that he became known to and started his influence on guitarists around the world through his many recordings. Many American musicians would travel to Paris to play with him, Coleman Hawkins, Benny Carter Rex Steward to name but a few....
