Career

Alcorn learned music theory from his brother.[3] In the early 1930s, he was a member of the Sunny South Syncopators led by Armand J. Piron.[3] He worked in Texas as a member of Don Albert's swing band, but he spent most his career in New Orleans in the dixieland bands of Paul Barbarin, Sidney Desvigne, Oscar Celestin, and Octave Crosby.[3]

During the 1950s, he went to Los Angeles to join the band of Kid Ory, then a couple years later returned to New Orleans.[3] He went on tour in Europe with Chris Barber in the late 1970s and continued to perform into the 1980s.[3]
