Edward "Kid" Ory (December 25, 1886 – January 23, 1973) was an American jazz composer, trombonist, and bandleader. One of the early users of the glissando technique, he helped establish it as a central element of New Orleans jazz. He was born near LaPlace, Louisiana, and moved to New Orleans on his 21st birthday, to Los Angeles in 1910, and to Chicago in 1925. The Ory band later was an important force in reviving interest in New Orleans jazz, making radio broadcasts on The Orson Welles Almanac program in 1944, among other shows. In 1944–45, the group made a series of recordings for the Crescent label, which was founded by Nesuhi Ertegun for the express purpose of recording Ory's band. Ory retired from music in 1966 and spent his last years in Hawaii, where he died from a heart attack.
