	PBS - JAZZ A Film By Ken Burns: Selected Artist Biography - James Reese Europe
		James Reese Europe studied violin and piano as a child in Washington, then moved to New York (l9O4) where he later became a director for musical comedies.
		After returning to the USA in 1919 he embarked on a triumphant tour of the nation and was hailed everywhere for his "gorgeous racket of syncopation and jazzing," but he died during the course of the tour.
		Although the few extant recordings of Europe's compositions reflect the ragtime style that was prevalent at the time, contemporary descriptions of his band's performance style indicate that he stood at least, on the threshold of jazz, this is confirmed by his recording of Memphis Blues.

	Trenches on the Web - Special: Lieutenant James Reese Europe
		Europe's group performed as a military band but there is a freedom and swing evident in the band's Pathe recordings that no other military bands attempted.
		Sissle later wrote that Europe performed it at the piano while the band made "all the sound effects of a bombardment." The speed with which Europe wrote the song after an actual attack is remarkable, and little time was wasted before this was recorded.
		Europe's men arrived in New York in February, 1919, and this song by Sissle and Europe was probably composed shortly after that homecoming.
