[Dixielandjazz] Capitol Jazzmen ID please

[Charles Suhor]

If my dusty memory is right at least one of the tracks with Peggy Lee on
drums was a cute gimmick where everbody was playing a "second instrument"
rather than their main one. Do any of you amazing folks who have great
personnel ID resources know the lineups on those sides?

Also--I think that Peggy Lee is one of the most underrated singers in jazz.
What phrasing, what soul, what a sound!--and a great sense of humor too.
Her "Black Coffee" 10" LP on Capitol (with a quartet that had Jimmy Rowles
on piano and Ed Shaugnessy on drums), only partially released on scattered
CDs, is a jewel!
