Down by the old Millstream - Sidney Bechet 1957
In a short movie clip Bechet plays Down by the old millstream. I dont have the information but it looks like the Claude Luter Jazz Band is backing him up. It appears there is a guest drummer. Could that be Wally Bishop?
Let me know if you have the information.

Great tune but too bad the end with the "showy break" as seen in another video is missing.
