[Dixielandjazz] Blind Willie Dunn's Gin Bottle Four

[Robert S. Ringwald]

I am not that familiar with Oliver's playing in '29.  However, the vibrato 
and tone sound similar to the T Dorsey recording of Tiger Rag.

It is possible that, like many of us, we alter our style depending on the 
gig, the style of the band we are playing with and in general, what we are 
told to do when we are a sideman.

Thus, I will say that it is possible that both recordings are Dorsey. 
However, I will be curious to see what some of the experts have to say about 
it.
