The previous comment is correct: per  the current state of sourcing in an article is irrelevant to the subject's notability. Sources could exist. With that being said, this gentleman has been listed in pre-Internet sources on the early New Orleans jazz scene. I found him listed at various events of interest that were described in two books: ''A Trumpet around the Corner: The Story of New Orleans Jazz'' by S. Charters and ''The Story of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band'' by H.O. Brunn. He also has a mention as a historical figure of interest in a walking tour of New Orleans jazz sites (https://www.nps.gov/jazz/learn/historyculture/upload/decatur.pdf). Unfortunately I can find nothing beyond basic listings of his presence somewhere and he seems to have no |significant coverage of his own works and career. The article may have been created by a relative or local historian who did some archival research, but for Wikipedia, personal interest does not outweigh notability
