[Dixielandjazz] Gin Bottle Four - Jet Black Blues - Dorsey or Oliver?

[Steve Barbone]

In a recent re-issue, Mosaic Records, at the below web site, lists the
trumpet player for the Gin Bottle Four and Jet Black Blues as Tommy Dorsey.

FROM: http://www.mosaicrecords.com/discography.asp?number=213-MD-CD

Scroll down a little past half way for the below listing:

Hoagy Carmichael has been suggested as the pianist, percussionist and scat
vocalist on this session but he was en-route from Indianapolis to Hollywood
during this time.

I have no idea where they sourced their information, but interested parties
might wish to contact them if in doubt.

Interesting how different ears hear different things.

Cheers,
