Louis Cottrell, Sr.

Louis Cottrell, Sr.

Louis Cottrell (December 25, 1878, New Orleans - October 17, 1927, New Orleans) was an influential American jazz drummer. He was the father of Louis Cottrell, Jr. and great-grandfather of New Orleans jazz drummer Louis Cottrell.

Cottrell played with John Robichaux's orchestra in 1909 and with the Olympia Orchestra in New Orleans from 1900 to 1915. From 1916 to 1918 he played in Chicago with Manuel Perez, then played with A.J. Piron up until the time of his death.

"Old Man" Cottrell has been credited as the innovator of the press roll in jazz drumming, and was a significant influence on most New Orleans drummers, having taught Baby Dodds, Paul Barbarin, Cie Frazier and Alfred Williams.
