The record
Twelve sides of trad repertoire gathered on Blue Note in 1955, with Wild Bill Davison and Art Hodes named alongside Bechet -- 'Darktown Strutters' Ball', 'St. James Infirmary', 'Copenhagen', 'Shim-Me-Sha Wabble'. No instruments are listed against any of the three. Rudy Van Gelder mastered it. A compilation, so read the running order as a curator's choice rather than a session.
