Dear Ed,
Regarding your comment:>
> I know that these kinds of recordings are not totally unique .... but they
must be sort of rare.<

So far no one has mentioned some early examples:
*18 April 1941. Sidney Bechet's One-Man Band.  "The Sheik Of Araby" using
cl, ss, ts, p, sb, d. and "Blues Of Bechet" using cl, ss, ts, p.
*11 June 1951. Humphrey Lyttelton (England). "One Man Went To Blow" using t,
cl,p, wb. 
*2 July 1954. Ade Monsbough (Australia). "Smoke Up" using t, vtb, cl, as, p,
wb. 
Very kind regards,
Bill.
