Sidney Bechet featuring Lionel Hampton

[Pete C]

Does anybody know the recording dates and other personnel for this material?

Just listening to this on Spotify. It's a hodge podge of things, as those albums often were.

Thanks. So Bechet plays with Hampton as much as Dolphy plays with Cannonball on his Archive of Jazz release!
