The New Orleans Rhythm KingsThe New Orleans Rhythm Kings (NORK) were an influential American jazz band active in the early to mid-1920s, known for shaping Chicago jazz and recording several standards such as "Bugle Call Rag" and "Tin Roof Blues." Formed by a blend of New Orleans and Chicago musicians, the band emerged from a partnership involving key figures like Paul Mares and Leon Roppolo, and they were recognized for their sophisticated style distinct from their contemporaries. NORK contributed to mixed-race recordings, notably featuring Jelly Roll Morton, and their music continued to resonate in traditional jazz circles long after the group disbanded. (Source: Wikipedia)
