	Jazzed in Cleveland - Part 86 - Noble Sissle
		The members of Sissle’s band said his style of leadership was a combination of "a stern uncle, a jovial headmaster, and a conscientious sergeant major." His concept of leadership was apparently based on his experience in the Army.
		Sissle liked to say he traveled all over the country, including the South, with no racial problems, but Horne later said the band members usually had to go in the back doors of most of the hotels where they played and frequently had trouble getting hot meals and taxis.
		Sissle, however, was proud that he was the first bandleader to play at venues that had previously hired only white groups.

		A large band of brass, reeds, and percussion, with vocals by Noble Sissle, Europe's orchestra plays the popular music of the day with a distinctive spirit and a marked rhythmic fluency uncommon in orchestral ragtime.
		The songwriting team of Europe, Blake, and Sissle ranges in their subject matter from "Jazz Baby" to the wartime experiences of "No-Man's Land." Europe's associate Tom Bethel contributed "That Moaning Trombone" with its vocal effects, while "Clarinet Marmalade" comes from the Original Dixieland Jazz Band.
		Despite the references to jazz, though, this is a band poised on the jazz era, not a jazz band, with improvisation largely limited to brief "breaks." Songs from White and African American composers alike contribute to the complex representation of fl life in America, one alive with both stereotypes and new possibilities.
