Can Bill Haesler (if finished with his house project) or any others on the
list tell me if a jam session organized by Joe Marsala in late 1938 and
broadcast via CBS radio in the USA and BBC in the UK was recorded? Here is
what I know about it:

>From the St Regis Hotel in NYC, broadcast in part with a young Alistair
Cooke as announcer. W.C. Handy and Ernestine Anderson were among those in
the eclectic  audience.

trumpet/cornet: Yank Lawson, Hot Lips Paige, Bobby Hackett, Max Kaminsky
                  
clarinets: Mezz Mezzrow, Pee Wee Russell, Joe Marsala

saxes: Sidney Bechet, sop, Bud Freeman tenor

trombone: Tommy Dorsey

piano: Jess Stacy, Joe Bushkin

guitar: Carmen Mastren, Eddie Condon

drums: Dave Tough, Zutty Singleton

double bass: Artie Shapiro

Any air checks out there?

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
