High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Joe Stephens, generally known as `"Ragbaby" or "Rag Baby Stephens", (March 3, 1887 - c. 1927) was an early New Orleans dixieland and jazz drummer. (His family name has appeared in print both as "Stephens" and "Stevens", although the family themselves spelled it with the "ph"). He was the 13th and last child of Philip Stephens (1841–1906) and his wife Catherine Kolb (1843–1913), both natives of Baden-Baden. A number of the Stephens family descendants were professional musicians or band members.
