This blues is wonderfully conveyed here with Bechet proving his brilliance as both a soloist and exponent of the blues. Who cannot be moved by this beautiful sensitive soprano playing.

Very, very nice. Thanks. Do you also have the Wild cat blues from June 30, 1923, should be with the same personal as Mean Blues: Sidney Bechet (soprano), Thomas Morris (cornet), Charlie Irvis (trombone), Buddy Cristian (banjo), Clarence Williams (piano). My brother had the LP : Sidney Bechet Memorial, 1923 - '25 Reordings with Clarence Williams Blue Five & Louis Armstrong (fontana Reords), but this LP is lost many years ago! I Would appriechiate!

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