Dear David and Mattias,
Spot on.
A listen to the recordings from the 20s throws this up all the time, as 
you are both aware.
A good example of this, which first brought it home to me back in the 
50s, is the two 78 versions of "Too Bad" (Elmer Schoebel):
Abe Lyman's California Orchestra. Los Angeles, 2 Feb 1926
King Oliver's Jazz Band. Chicago,11 March 1926.
(Both available on CD.)
Kind regards,
Bill.
