ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Club Hangover
Club Hangover, which opened in the late 1940's, was the premier traditional jazz venue in San Francisco during the 1950's. The club at 729 Bush Street, close to Powell Street, was run by Doc Dougherty. During the 1950's there were many radio broadcasts of concerts at Club Hangover. Subsequently a number of these have been released on CD, particularly on the Storyville label. Information about these recordings, by performers such as Kid Ory, George Lewis, Lee Collins and Earl Hines, may be added at a later date.
“I’m Confessin’ That I Love You” (also known as “Confessin’ (That I Love You),” “I’m Confessin’,” and “Confessin’”) was a collaboration in 1930 between composers Doc Dougherty and Ellis Reynolds and lyricist Al J. Neiburg. Daugherty was a bandleader and owner of the Club Hangover in San Francisco. Reynolds was the pianist in the band of George “Doc” Hyder based out of Philadelphia and New York.
