Sam Jones
*1900
A.k.a. Sam Jones Stovepipe No.1
One-man band and Jug Band musician. Sam Jones, who was born sometime before 1900, was mostly known as Stovepipe No. 1". He was a well-known figure on the George Street red light district in Cincinnati as a street musician who billed himself as "Daddy Stovepipe." He probably did not know of the existence of the Maxwell Street one-man band "Daddy Stovepipe", aka Johnny Watson (6), until he went to Richmond, Indiana to record for Gennett on May 16, 1924. Doubtless the Gennett staffers would have informed Jones that they had already recorded the Chicago "Daddy Stovepipe" just six days before. Although the Gennett ledgers betray compromise entries such as "Stovepipe Jazz Band" and "Stovepipe Jones", it appears that "Stovepipe No. 1" is what Jones finally settled on, to assert his claim that he was the "original" Stovepipe.
