  Armand J. Piron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Armand John "A.J." Piron (August 16, 1888–February 17, 1943) was an American jazz violinist, band leader, and composer.
Piron was born to what was then called a Creole of color family in downtown New Orleans.
The influence of Piron's band on the New York scene can be heard in the records of other New York bands of that time, such as Fletcher Henderson's (although Piron's influence on New York music would be eclipsed a year later when Louis Armstrong arrived in the city).

Armand was a busy man. In 1915, he formed a publishing company with Clarence Williams, and continued leading bands while also working with Oscar "Papa" Celestin.
Piron was credited with being the composer of "I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate," but Louis Armstrong always claimed that he sold the hit song to Piron for a few bucks, and Armstrong refused to play "Sister Kate" throughout his career.
Armand then fronted George Augustin's Moonlight Serenaders into the mid-1930's and he died in poverty and forgotten in 1943 at age 54.

In all likelihood you’d be shaking your blues away to one of the Crescent City’s most loved jazz bands, Armand J. Piron’s New Orleans Orchestra.
In later years Piron said the song was neither his nor Armstrong’s but, like so many local melodies, it had been through several incarnations.
Louis and Piron both used the phrase “shake like jelly on a plate” but Piron said “who knows if Louis made that up himself.” Piron knew that by cleaning up the song it would be a big hit and he was right.
