Dear Bob,
It most certainly is.
With his Quintet: Benny Morton, (trombone) Dave McKenna (piano), Jack Lesberg (string bass) Oliver Jackson (drums), plus Larry Ridley (bass) Tyree Glenn (trombone), Allan Jaffe (sousa) and some members of the Eureka Brass Band. (I have the full personnel of the group that appeared at the Festival, if required.) George Wein (MC) is also in there somewhere.
I have not been able to identify Mahalia's pianist.
Kind regards,
Bill.
