Discographical information from Bechet's Discography at the Sidney Bechet Society:

E Flat Blues (incomplete) (Harris out)

+ ' Bechet with pno/bs/dms only

Originally released on LP on the US Big Chief Jerollomo label (catalogue number SBBH 1947!!). Bechet does not play on the Bill Harris features: Mean To Me and I Surrender Dear from this date. T. gives "Embraceable You/Laura" as unreleased, presumably because it is not mentioned on the LP label or sleeve (the back of the sleeve - where one might expect to find some notes - is entirely blank!); similarly Rn. says Blues in B flat is possibly not on the LP; both titles are definitely present.

In fact, this IS NOT the first Kimball Hall recording:

SIDNEY BECHET-MEZZ MEZZROW

Milton "Mezz" Mezzrow (clt), Sidney Bechet (sop/clt), Jimmy Dudley (alt), Ray Dixon (pno), Joe Romano (gtr), Micky Simms (bs), Ken Smith (dms). Concert, Kimball Hall.

The spelling of the guitarist's name is variously given as Romano, Romero, Rumoro etc. etc.
