[Dixielandjazz] Re: [Sextet from Hunger]

[Stan Brager]

Floyd;

I have several 78's of the Sextet From Hunger. The personnel are listed on
the label as:

Eddie Scrivanik - guitar
George Thow - trumpet
Joe Yukl - trombone
Blake Reynolds - clarinet
Charlie LaVere - piano
Don Hopkins - bass
Zutty Singleton - drums

I don't know if the same group was the same as the 1947 broadcast.
