@shrdlu7 To my knowledge, Bechet never played with Omer Simeon, at least not on record (he played with Al Nicholas, Ed Hall, Buster Bailey, Mezzrow, Bob Wilber, Bill Reinhardt a.s.o.)
-
The vocal is by the drummer Freddie Moore. I especially liked Bechet's fill-ins during the vocal and then his imperious very hot solo
-
So good, thanks!

Edwin Jarvis, my man, Sidney Bechet almost exclusively played soprano sax and was the very best. There are people in this world who mistakenly believe that Kenny G. plays soprano sax, he does but he doesn't make any music on it and Coltrane played soprano sax but he couldn't hold a candle to the great Sidney Bechet especially when he would get together with some of the greats like Omer Simeon.

Yup, Freddy Moore is the vocalist.
I used to have 78s from this session, all gone now. Their version of 'Shine' is spectacular!! have you got it, laceup? Please please?

This is a KILLER side!
Like you suggested I turned it up.

YEAH, MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Art Hodes is the piano player. I'd need to research most of the rest, but I knew Art and that AIN'T him singing! Sidney Bechet played various clarinets and lead the band. could possibly be Satch on trumpet.

Never claimed is was him singing. It's Fred Moore who also performs drums. Here are the rest.
CORNET: Bill Davison
SAXOPHONE: Sidney Bechet
BASS: George Foster

I've played this vid like 92329 times. I don't care what Van Morrison tries to do when he covers something. Art Hodes burns on this thing.
