This is the 1939 recording by Bechet, with Teddy Bunn - Guitar, Meade Lux Lewis - piano,Johnny Williams - bass and Big Sid Catlett - drums. Wonderful stuff

What's with the Louise Brooks connection? How does she figure into all of this?

Anyone keen on this must, must take a look at Bechet's contemporaries and thereabouts. Stuff Smith, Joe Venuti, Eddie Condon, Pee Wee Russell, Django Reinhardt, and the likes. I am only roughly familiar, but through a BBC jazz DJ named Mel Hill, I discovered this era and some of its greats. Mel's retired, now, but had a brain like an encyclopedia, bless his soul. Unbelievable stuff. The fellow who took his spot is alright, too (Chris Gumbley). Google him and the site should come up.
