Dear Marek,
My copy of that LP has two additional tunes: "Daddies Pep Tune" and "Aircastle Blues".
It cost me AUD$1.00 in a Sydney Coles supermarket.
Album Title: Pall Mall Dixie Ball [Made in Canada by Arc Sound Co. Limited  Toronto  an ahed company. 
Band: The Pall Mall Jazz Band
Label name: Arc
Cat. No.: CP-517-H
[Produced in Canada by Arc Sound Limited]
No composer credits provided.
The photograph of the band on the cover (standing holding instruments  trumpet, clarinet, trombone plus instrument cases on the ground ) in front of a lake and water fountain) has 7 musicians who look Scandinavian to me. They have coats on and it looks cold.
Playing it now.
Now to check my files.........
Oh, oh. I was wrong.
It is a Dutch group!
