Gee, I wish I could. Like Bill, I think there are such records but I can't,
for the life of me, think of any. A glance though the accompanist index of
Dixon, Godrich and Rye doesn't help either. 

The best I can offer on the use of 'exotic' woodwinds in blues is Charles
Adams playing walking-cane flute with Phillips Louisville Jug Band in
August-September 1930 and Albert Socarras playing flute with Lizzie Miles
and Eva Taylor in June 1928.

Getting old,
Anton
