#Welcome to the mouse house full#
Supported by compadres Benny Clement (trumpet), Jimmy Johnson (bass), Chick Power (tenor saxophone), Edward Frank (piano) and Earl Palmer (drums), these recordings would be released sequentially on two 45s-“Back” b/w “One Blind Mouse” followed by “Mouse’s House” b/w “What a Difference a Day Made”- both showing the altoist in full Charlie Parker mode. Recorded in a single sitting in 1957, the Patio sessions yielded four tracks under Mouse’s aegis. Mouse Bonati’s New Orleans sides-all released by the tiny Patio Records-represent some of the earliest bebop recorded in the city. In the late ’40s, barely out of his teens, playing saxophone and enamored of both jazz and-like so many other young musicians-of Charlie Parker, Mouse Bonati moved to New Orleans. The young Joe, evincing the family’s musical and artistic talents, played the violin, receiving the standard classical-oriented musical education of the era. Little, unfortunately, in the way of New Orleans bebop was recorded in its time, but Mouse Bonati figures prominently in discussions about modern jazz in New Orleans.īorn in Buffalo, New York, in 1930, Joseph “Mouse” Bonati was the youngest of five musically- and artistically-inclined brothers and sisters. Saxophonist Joseph “Mouse” Bonati would be one of the earliest and most visible champions of bop. Places like Louis Prima’s 500 Club, the Gunga Den and the Sho’Bar employed these young enthusiasts as pit musicians, and served as primary loci for the after-hours sessions where the form took root in the city. While concurrently proving itself one of the nation’s great, vital R&B powerhouses, New Orleans’s glory years at the leading edge of jazz were decades old by the time of bebop’s ascendance in the ’40s.ĭespite the city’s general apathy about this new, modern permutation of jazz (a generalization fairly leveled at any city not among Great Migration destination points), New Orleans did have its bop devotees, many of whom convened to jam in the late ‘40s and ‘50s at French Quarter nightclubs and strip joints.

I have been visiting Katoomba since a small child and am so proud and fortunate to now own this beautiful little piece of the Blue Mountains. Looking forward to hearing about our Guests. We have four children and 8 grandchildren missing us in Queensland. We are Queenslanders, Fritz originally from Germany and I was born in Brisbane. We love travelling and soon will set off in our fifth wheeler caravan across Australia for a well earned break. There is so much to see and do here in the Blue Mountains, so bring plenty of time with you and a little extra to just sit back and relax at The Mouse House 🐭🏡 We are proud of our creation and can’t wait for our first guests to enjoy all it has to offer. When looking at the Cottage, most people think it’s always been here and renovated but we specifically designed and constructed it to fit into this area. We have sourced nice old furniture from all corners of Australia and lovingly restored them back to their past elegance. We have collected old leadlight windows, some from the late 1800’s or rather saved them from demolition and restored them in this Cottage. The name came about as a mystical fairy tail style of Cottage. Fritz and I have spent the past two years personally building The Mouse House after designing it some years ago.
