[Dixielandjazz] Dorseys on trumpet

Tue Feb 26 14:28:02 PST 2013

Dear Christopher (should it have been Chris?),
I have most of the stuff (by no means all).  According not only to
discographies but also to peronnels given by the Lang-Venuti double
album on CBS, it's King Oliver on the "Blind Willie Dunn sides.  You
say it's Jimmy Dorsey, and that the date is incorredt, too.  May I
enquire what your soueces are?
Cheers (finally going to have that beer),
Marek
