Went after this one for W.C. Handy's
Memphis Blues (Check out the site for
Mr. Handy's Blues: A Musical Documentary) and got a surprise on the flipside (
Waitin' For Katie)...an eighteen year old Benny Goodman on trumpet!
According to
Jazz Oracle's Ben Pollack Volume 1's liner notes by John Wilby, Goodman gives the two bar introduction to Jimmy McPartland's cornet solo.
