James Dapogny

James Elliot Dapogny (September 3, 1940, Berwyn, Illinois – March 6, 2019, Ann Arbor, Michigan)[1] was an American jazz musicologist, pianist, composer, arranger and bandleader, active principally in the traditional jazz revival scene.

Early life

Dapogny earned a Ph.D in composition, and taught at the University of Michigan beginning in 1966.[2] Dapogny led an ensemble called James Dapogny's Chicago Jazz Band, founded in 1975, which played with Sippie Wallace and the Chenille Sisters and made many appearances on Prairie Home Companion.

Dapogny wrote extensively about Jelly Roll Morton, including liner notes for the release of his Library of Congress recordings. He also edited Jazz Masterworks Editions, a series initiated by Oberlin College and the Smithsonian Institution.
