You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Wellman Braud''' (January 25, 1891 – October 29, 1966) was an American [[jazz]] [[upright bass]]ist.<ref name="LarkinJazz"/><ref name="Book"/> His family sometimes spelled their last name "Breaux", pronounced "Bro".<ref name="LarkinJazz">((cite book|title=[[Encyclopedia of Popular Music|The Guinness Who's Who of Jazz]]|editor=[[Colin Larkin (writer)|Colin Larkin]]|publisher=[[Guinness Publishing]]|date=1992|edition=First|isbn=0-85112-580-8|page=58))</ref>

== Biography ==
Born in [[St. James Parish, Louisiana|St. James Parish]], [[Louisiana]], Braud settled in [[New Orleans]], in his early teens.<ref name="LarkinJazz" /> He was playing the violin and the upright bass and leading a trio in venues in the [[Storyville, New Orleans|Storyville]] District before 1910. He moved to [[Chicago]], [[Illinois]] in 1917.<ref name="LarkinJazz" /> In 1923, he visited London with the Plantation Orchestra, in which he doubled on bass and trombone. Next, he moved to New York City, where he played with [[Wilber Sweatman]]'s band before joining [[Duke Ellington]].<ref name="LarkinJazz" />

It has been observed by [[Branford Marsalis]] that Braud was the first to utilize the walking bass style, that has been a mainstay in modern jazz, as opposed to the 'two-beat' pattern the tuba plays in the New Orleans style. His vigorous melodic bass playing, alternately plucking, slapping, and bowing, was an important feature of the early Ellington Orchestra in the 1920s and 1930s. Braud's playing on Ellington's regular radio broadcasts and recordings helped popularize the slap style of string bass playing, as well as encouraging many dance bands of the time to switch from using a tuba to an upright bass. (Like many of his contemporary New Orleans bassists, Braud doubled on tuba, and he recorded with that instrument on some sides with Ellington).

In 1936, Braud co-managed a short-lived [[Harlem, Manhattan|Harlem]] club with [[Jimmie Noone]], and recorded with the group [[Spirits of Rhythm]] from 1935 to 1937. He played with other New York bands including those of Kaiser Marshall, [[Hot Lips Page]], and [[Sidney Bechet]], and returned for a while to Ellington in 1944. In 1956, he joined the [[Kid Ory]] Band.<ref name="LarkinJazz"/> In the late 1950s, he joined [[Barbara Dane]]'s trio alongside pianist/cornetist Kenny Whitson, turning down opportunities to return to Duke Ellington's band or tour with Louis Armstrong.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.barbaradane.net/|title=Home|website=Barbaradane.net|access-date=July 25, 2021))</ref>

He is a distant relative of the Marsalis brothers on their mother's side.<ref name="pbs">((cite web|title =Full Episode: Musicians Branford Marsalis and Harry Connick, Jr. |last=Gates Jr.|first=Henry Louis|work=Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates| url =https://www.pbs.org/wnet/finding-your-roots/video/branford-marsalis-and-harry-connick-jr/|year=2012 | access-date = 2012-02-07 ))</ref>

He died in [[Los Angeles]], [[California]], at the age of 76.<ref name="Book">((Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TL1JAgAAQBAJ&dq=wellman+braud.+died.+1966&pg=PA21-IA14|title=The Jazz Bass Book: Technique and Tradition|first=John|last=Goldsby|date=September 1, 2002|publisher=Backbeat Books|isbn=9781617132179|access-date=July 25, 2021|via=Google Books))</ref>

Duke Ellington subsequently paid tribute to Braud, including the composition ‘Portrait of Wellman Braud’ on his 1970 album ''[[New Orleans Suite]]''.
