Is Charlie Irvis the trombonist, or John Mayfield? Or was "Wild Cat" with J.M. made at another session?

You are correct, this was very remiss of me, I have changed the description accordingly

May I rectify your presentation: the cornettist isn't Louis, but Thomas Morris injustly forgotten nowadays.
