Peter Badie

Peter Chuck Badie (born May 17, 1925[1]) is a jazz bass player. He was born in New Orleans, and his father was a prominent jazz saxophone player who played with the "Eureka" and the "Original Olympia" brass bands.[2]

Badie left the Navy in 1945, and then used the G.I. Bill to enrol at the Grunewald School of Music.[2] From around 1950 he played with singer Roy Brown for two years.[1] He then "worked with the singer Paul Gayten and Dave Bartholomew, then from 1954 to 1956 was a member of Lionel Hampton's orchestra."[1]

Badie played double bass on some famous New Orleans rhythm-and-blues recordings.[1] He worked with Hank Crawford, Edward Frank, June Gardner, Dizzy Gillespie, and Zoot Sims, but had to stop playing in the 1970s because of stomach problems.[1] He returned to frequent playing in the 1990s, as part of Dr. John's band.[1]
