[Dixielandjazz] Combo on Trixie Smith recordings?

[Charles Suhor]

This clears it up, Bill--thanks. I identify so strongly with Bechet's soprano sax that I'd forgotten how beautifully he played clarinet. Listening to his 1929 and Noone's 1938 playing back to back, I'm amazed at how similar they sound--great tone, chops, ideas in the upper and lower registers. I can understand why my late brother was an admirer of Noone.
