This is a 1940 recording with guest artist Bechet sitting in with Henry Levine's Dixieland Octet (from NBC's "Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street" radio series). The personnel is Henry Levine (trumpet), Sidney Bechet (soprano sax), Rudolph Adler (tenor sax), Jack Epstein (trombone), Alfred Evans (clarinet), Mario Janarro (piano), Tony Colucci (guitar), Harry Patent (bass), Nat Levine (drums).
Bless You Tube. I cut my musical teeth on listening to this record from my father's collection. It sounds better than ever.

I'm confused, I thought he played a soprano sax?

@MrBrinydeep Yes, of course he plays soprano sax here but he also played clarinet, see Blue Horizon.
