Jack Pettis & His Pets - Hot Heels
Jack Pettis worked in Chicago with Elmer Schoebel and Paul Mares, becoming a member of the highly influential New Orleans Rhythm Kings with whom he recorded during 1922-23. Pettis joined Ben Bernie's Orchestra. He began making recordings as a leader in 1926 and during the next two years recorded extensively with his own groups, and with Bernie, the Whoopee Makers and Irving Mills' Hotsy Totsy Gang. He also wrote or co-wrote several tunes including "St. Louis Shuffle", "Freshman Hop," "Sweetest Melody" and "A Bag O' Blues". But after 1930, Jack Pettis only made one more appearance on record and by the 40's he had completely disappeared from the music scene. Of his later life hardly anything is known. This catchy tune was recorded for Vocalion on July 20th, 1927. The list of talented musicians working for Pettis' band once more is impressive. Besides leader Jack Pettis, who also played clarinet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone and C-melody saxophone, personnel included: Don Bryan, Bill Moore and Shorty Sherock, trumpet; Clay Bryson, banjo; Tommy Dorsey (?), Glenn Miller, Jack Teagarden and Paul Weigan, trombone; Al Goering and Lennie Hayton, piano and celeste; Nicky Gerlach and Matt Malneck, violin; Benny Goodman and Tony Parenti, clarinet, alto saxophone and tenor saxophone; Harry Goodman, bass; Merrill Kline, bass brass; Eddie Lang, guitar; Dick McDonough, guitar and banjo; Don Murray, clarinet; Dylan Ober, drums and xylophone, as well as an unknown instrumentist on the bass saxophone.

Bre Pettis / MAKE - Metro @ PULSTV
Metro vom 3.12.2007; VJ: Stephan Bruckner
(engl. "translation" below)
Bre Pettis ist Videoblogger für das MAKE Magazin (www.makezine.com) - mit seinen Weekend Projects hat er sich längst in die Nerdherzen gebastelt.
Let me try to translate (hopefully correct):
Bre Pettis is blogging for the DIY magazine "Make" for 2 years. "Make" is covering topics all around DIY since 2005. Bre was formerly art teacher in middle-school and ist now doing the so-called "weekend projects" - abstruse handicrafts to imitate.
- Bre talking about the TVBGone
- Bre about the 3 good things with DIY
3 reasons why Bre is not alone with his hobby, and meanwile also profession. Now with internet an global networking it is possible to easily exchange information and expertise. One cause of many for the current rise of DIY culture.
- Bre about people having things their way
This "I Do It My Way" mentality is now forcing entire industries to act. Because the economy disqualifies itsself by locked technologies and proprietary strategies and collides with the open source and sharing nature of the DIY culture.
- Bre about the iPhone & DIY
Seems if the potential of DIY is massive: projects are becoming increasingly ambitious. Bre Pettis is currently working, collaborating with many others, on a self-replicating reprap-robot.
- Bre about possibilities of DIY
But, it does not always has to be that ambitious. Even for the less talented, there are enough instructions to enter the ranks of DIY-people. Just try and start making.

Jack Pettis & His Band - Ain't She Sweet?, 1927
Jack Pettis & His Band, vocals Scrappy Lambert, Billy Hillpot - Ain't She Sweet?, 1927
----------------------------------
JACK PETTIS (aka John Barton Pettis) b.Alton, Illinois, 1891 d. 1940 (?)- an early jazz pioneer (Clarinet, Saxophone: Tenor, Alt, C) became a mystery when he dropped out of the music world by 1940 and was not heard from again. His inevitable death went unnoticed and nothing is known about his later life despite extensive research by many curious jazz fans. Pettis was a solid if not overly distinctive player throughout his truncated career. He was self-taught on the C-melody saxophone as a teenager. He worked in Chicago with Elmer Schoebel and Paul Mares, becoming a member of the highly influential New Orleans Rhythm Kings with whom he recorded during 1922-23. Pettis joined Ben Bernie's Orchestra in 1924 and the following year took an impressive solo on a short sound movie (included on the video At The Jazz Band Ball) of Bernie's band playing "Sweet Georgia Brown," having the distinction of being one of the first jazz soloists on film. Pettis began making recordings as a leader in 1926 and during the next two years recorded extensively with his own groups, and with Bernie, the Whoopee Makers and Irving Mills' Hotsy Totsy Gang. Among Pettis' sidemen on various selections were Joe Venuti, Eddie Lang, Dick Mcdonough, Spencer Clark, Tommy Dorsey, Jack Teagarden, Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman. He also wrote or co-wrote several catchy tunes including "St. Louis Shuffle" (later recorded by Fletcher Henderson), "Freshman Hop," "Sweetest Melody" and "A Bag O' Blues." But after 1930, Jack Pettis only made one more appearance on record (a 1937 date he headed that resulted in "Hawaiian Heat Wave" and "Swing Session In Siberia") and by the 1940's he had completely disappeared, apparently lost forever.
