[Dixielandjazz] Leo Reisman/Bubber Miley

[Hal Vickery]

Bubber did make several recordings with Leo Reisman.  The Mooche, iirc, was co-written by Miley.  The trumpet fills sound like Miley.  The band for some reason is featured in silhouette where the person in question is featured.  To me that walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.
