Ralph Sutton - Jazz Pianist/World’s Greatest Jazz Band/Signed Stationary
Ralph Earl Sutton (1922-2001) -  American jazz pianist born in Hamburg, Missouri. He was a stride pianist in the tradition of James P. Johnson and Fats Waller.
Sutton had a stint as a session musician   with Jack Teagarden's band before joining the US Army during World War II. After the war, he played at various venues in Missouri, eventually ending up at Eddie Condon’s Club in Greenwich Village . In 1956, he relocated to San Francisco, California, where he recorded several albums with Bob Scobey’s dixieland  band. From the 1960s onward, he worked mostly on his own. However, when the World’s Greatest Jazz Band was established in 1968, he was the natural choice for piano. He left that band in 1974 due to the extensive travel involved, and joined an old sidekick, Peanuts Hucko, in a quartet in Denver, near his home in Evergreen, Colorado.
