[Dixielandjazz] Lester Young and Jimmy Noone

[Joe Carbery]

In an interview with Max Jones published in Jones' book *Talking Jazz *Bigard
states that he worked on tenor saxophone (with Albert Nicholas) at Tom
Anderson's Cabaret in New Orleans from 1922 to '24. And of course he played
tenor in King Oliver's reed section from late 1924 to '26.
