No doubt Ed Metz posting on the subject is correct. Anyone knowing Ed would
realize that. 

Philadelphia rumors have it that the Left Bank Bearcats were indeed US
musicians from the likes of the Jan Savitt and Eliott Lawrence bands.
Perhaps they recorded under fictitious names like Aron Dubois because of
contractual obligations as stated in recent threads on the DJML.

In any event, they fooled Tom Lord's discography too. Aron Dubois is listed
in Lord's as having made 3 records.

Aron Dubois is a pseudonym. For Joe? a trumpeter in the Eliot Lawrence
Orchestra. See below google site. It will not come up for me, just the
tantalizing header:

Elliot Lawrence
... Joe¹s only other commercial output was under the fictitious name ³Aron
Dubois² on the three 1957 Somerset budget Left Bank Bearcats (Dixieland)
albums ... http://www.bigband-era.com/forum/messages/12697.html - 84k -

Sooner or later someone will find the correct info.
