Trombonist George Brunies was born in New Orleans in 1902. The Brunies family lived in the prosperous Central City/Garden District area of the town called the 'Irish Channel' where the Mississipppi flows to the south. George's father, Henry, led a family band, and his brothers Henry 'Henny' (trombone), Merritt (trombone and cornet), Richard 'Iron Lip' (trumpet), and Albert 'Abbie' (cornet) all became noted professional musicians.
