Jess Stacy
Jesse Alexandria Stacy (August 11, 1904 – January 1, 1995) was an American jazz pianist who gained prominence during the swing era. He is perhaps best known for his years with the Benny Goodman band during the late 1930s, particularly his performance at Goodman's Carnegie Hall concert in 1938.
==Early life==
Stacy was born in Bird's Point, Missouri, a small town across the Mississippi River from Cairo, Illinois. In 1918 Stacy moved to Cape Girardeau, Missouri. There Stacy received his only formal music training studying under Professor Clyde Brandt, a professor of piano and violin at Southeast Missouri State Teachers College (now Southeast Missouri State University),〔Allen, Steve.

(but see 'Discussion' )〕 while sweeping up nights at Clark's Music Store.〔Classic Jazz A personal view of the Music and Musicians: Floyd Evans and Benny Carter p 136 University of California Press 2002 ISBN 978-0-520-23463-5〕
By 1920 Stacy was playing piano in saxophonist Peg Meyer's jazz ensemble at Cape Girardeau High School and at the Bluebird Confectionary on Broadway and Fountain and also at the Sweet Shop on Main Street. Originally labeled by schoolmates as "The Agony Four",〔Kenney, W.H. Jazz ''on the River''. (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2005.) 136.〕 "that band took them out of Cape Girardeau where, according to Stacy, 'everyone was square as a bear'".〔W. H. Kenney ''Jazz on the River'', University of Chicago Press 2005, p.136〕
By 1921 the ensemble was known as Peg Meyer's Melody Kings and started touring the Mississippi River on 'The Majestic' and other riverboats.〔Special Collections and Archives, Southeast Missouri State University, Jess Stacy Collection Finding Aid, Descriptive Overview.〕
