"Gimmie A Pigfoot"-Bessie Smith(re-post)

This is a re-post of my original, made possible by Chuck Johnson sending me a 'cleaner' audio track. MANY thanks Chuck.
My original posting proved to be the most popular of all my postings to date, so I hope this one is equally well received. There are some new photographs too.
"Gimmie A Pigfoot" was written by Wesley Wilson and Bessie is accompanied by "Buck and his Band", the line-up being:- Buck Washington; leader and pno. Frank Newton; cnt. Benny Goodman; clt. Jack Teagarden; tmb. Chu Berry; ten.sax. and Billy Taylor; bss.
This audio track certainly gives a better playback of Frank Newton's impressive cornet !
Enjoy!!
