[Dixielandjazz] Benny Goodman, Teddy Wilson, Jess Stacy

[Harry Callaghan]

That sounds like sense.......I know I've got several recordings with Teddy
Wilson heading a small combo backing Lady Day;, with no relation whatsoever
to Benny Goodman

I have one very late BG trio or quartet recording on a 10" LP.  I don't
remember the other personnel but I believe it had Dick Hyman on piano.
