[Dixielandjazz] Goodman bassists

[ROBERT R. CALDER]

The bassists in Goodman small group recordings seem to be Art Bernstein or Sid Weiss or whoever was good enough to play in the big band.  Walter Iooss (Eye-ooss, rhyming with juice, is how Benny pronounces it on a live recording) was also there. Kirby turns up in December 1938, with either Buddy Schutz or Hampton on drums. Slam Stewart turns up in 1945, with Red Norvo on vibes.
