Short questions to George Probert ( cl and ss) in September 2011 on Kid Ory Society on Facebook.

Describe Ory's approach to constructing a set.

Probert: Oh beautiful. Of all the leaders I worked with, Ory could (if he wanted to) construct the most perfect sets. He started with the first song to see how it effected the audience and then go from there and build. If he didn't grasp the audience with the first song, he would try again with the second. It all depended on his mood and the response of the audience and his interpretation (of the audience).
