Dear Ulf and Listmates,
Further to the discussion regarding Lorenzo Tio Jr, his move to New York and
the suggestion in discographies that he is not the clarinet player on the
Piron Orchestra's Victor recording date on 25 March 1925 in New Orleans that
gave us the wonderful "Red Man Blues" and "Do As I Say", I contacted my
longtime mate Barry Wratten.
Barry is one of Australia's best jazz clarinettists and has a special
interest and firsthand knowledge of the music of New Orleans and its
pioneers.
Here is his succinct reply:

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the note.
It seems we've had this discussion before, a long time ago As an "Albert
System" clarinettist who's listened to all the early New Orleans Jazz
Clarinetists, black, white & "Hi Yella", that's Tio on "Red Man Blues" & "Do
As I say".
It don't take too long for a train to get to New Orleans from New York &
back again.
There are numerous reasons why Tio may have made a trip "home" & back again.
Thanks,
Cheers,
baz

Well that's unequivocal enough for me. 
Very kind regards,
Bill.=
