Edward Otha South (November 27, 1904 – April 25, 1962)[1] was an American jazz violinist.
Biography
South studied classical music in Budapest, Paris, and Chicago. He turned to jazz because, as a Black musician, there was no room for him in classical music.[2] In the 1920s he was a member of jazz orchestras led by Charlie Elgar, Erskine Tate, and Jimmy Wade.[2][3] From 1928 to 1930, he was touring in Europe with his band, Eddie South's Alabamians,[4] with whom he had already made several records.[5] He recorded during this tour as well. During this tour, the Alabamians had an extended stay in Venice, in 1928, at the Luna Hotel.[6]
He led a band in the early 1930s that included Milt Hinton and Everett Barksdale.[2] In 1937 he recorded in Paris with Stephane Grappelli, Django Reinhardt, and Michel Warlop.[2] In 1945 he worked for the studio band at WMGM in New York City.[2] During the 1950s, he was a guest on television with Fran Allison and Dave Garroway and on WGN in Chicago.[2]
On September 2, 2020, The New York Times consulted violinist Mazz Swift, who selected Eddie South's performance of "Black Gypsy" for a feature on "5 Minutes That Will Make You Love the Violin."[7]
