Doc Berendsohn
Bernhard "Doc" Berendsohn , also Bernhard Berendson or Bernhard Brenson (born May 23, 1889 in New Orleans , Louisiana , † June 15, 1952 in Cook County , Illinois ) was an American jazz clarinetist and cornet player of early jazz .
Live and act
Berendsohn was from New Orleans and had lessons from his brother Sigmund, a trumpeter. He played as a cornet player with the Louisiana Five , which u. a. the clarinetist Alcide Nunez also belonged. Recordings were made in 1919 for Columbia Records ( Slow and Easy ).
In the early 1920s he played as clarinetist with Sam Lanin , in 1921/22 in his Ladd's Black Aces , a studio ensemble of white musicians like Jimmy Durante , who recorded for Gennett Records . Berendsohn had come to replace Achille Baquet . Further recordings for Gennett were made with Lanin under the band name Bailey's Lucky Seven , which, according to James Lincoln Collier, should have influenced the young Benny Goodman with Berendsohn's "German clarinet style" . In his later years he lived in Chicago . He is buried in the Acacia Park Cemetery there.
