I'd love to know what clarinets (and sops) he played and what type/style of clarinet ?

Was it an albert like a good number of other New Orleans jazz clarinettists ?

[oldtimejazzfan]

He played a Buffet Albert system and his soprano was a Buescher True Tone which is now in possession of Olivier Franc for the incredible amount of more than 100000 Euro.

Thanks for the comment.  A little annotation and documentation adds interest to the video. I wish that more posters would do so.

Finally got my mits on this 3 disc Blue Note 78rpm Album back in 2001 - my favorite cut of the 6. Think I played this cut half a dozen times right after arriving home with it. :D

Still my favorite version of this cut - right up there with Bix's 1927 recording. Thanks for posting!
