Further to my reply to Jim Beebe re Eddie Miller clarinet.
Although EM helps Matty Matlock in ensembles on the Wingy Manone records
(1934-35) he only solos on tenor, so far as I can hear.
Ditto the Wingy 9 April 1936 'Dallas Blues" session (6 sides).
Another Miller clt session I forgot about earlier was Bunny Berigan & His Blues
Boys' date of 13 Dec 1935. 
Eddie has lovely clt solos on "I'm Coming Virginia" and "Blues".  The one on
"Chicken and Waffles" is by Edgar Sampson. 
I had a few hours' fun listening too. What relaxed stuff. They don't make 'em
like that any more.
Now for the Ben Pollack's!
Kind regards,
Bill.
