John Kirby (musician)
John Kirby (December 31, 1908 – June 14, 1952), was a jazz double-bassist who also played trombone and tuba.
==Background==
John Kirby was born John Kirk in Winchester, Virginia on 31 December 1908. His mother, Dolly Kirk (died October 1925) gave him up for adoption and he was raised at 442 North Kent Street, by Reverend Washington Johnson and his wife, Nancy.〔1920 Frederick County Census list.〕 Kirby was a student at the Winchester Colored School (renamed Douglass school in 1916) and started trombone lessons around 1917 under the guidance of Professor Powell Gibson (principal, math, drama and music teacher). Kirby (after success in New York), stated that Bach's work fascinated him as a kid and that he learned to play music just as it was written. Kirby's formal education ended around 1923. That same year, he met Mary Moten of Airmont, Va. and they married on 25 August 1925. On 14 December 1925, Mary gave birth to Yvonne Constance Kirk. Based on known affiliations (Yvonne, Powell Gibson, Mary Moten and former schoolmate, Anna Bertha), Kirby's father lived in Baltimore and he was a frequent visitor to the Winchester area. By 1936, Kirby was a successful sideman on the New York city jazz scene and his eleven-year-old daughter, Yvonne (a student at Douglass) heard stories about her successful father from Powell Gibson.
