Who is that clarinetist?! I've gotta know! It's an older recording but completely unidentified as to date and personnel, on the cd "The Louis Armstrong Collection: Classic Performances." The track is "New Orleans Stomp." The label is "Purple Flame" or "MCPS." This is what I get for buying budget, I know, I know. I've never heard playing quite this fabulous. Can any Louis fans help out?

Brian Rust's discography entitled "Jazz Records1987-1942" (p1230) lists "King Oliver's Jazz Band" (sic), as recording "New Orleans Stomp" by Oliver & Piron, and "Camp Meeting Blues" in Chicago on October 16 1923, with the following personnel : King oliver & Louis Armstrong cornets/ Ed atkins Trombone/ Buster Bailey or Jimmie Noone clarinet/ Lil Hardin piano/Johnny St Cyr banjo/ Baby Dodds drums. Other numbers also recorded by Oliver using either of these two these clarinetists, but on October 15 1923, are shown as "Chattanooga Stomp", "Junk Man Blues" and "London Cafe Blues - A New Orleans Stomp"(sic)
Johnny Dodds is listed as being on this band's other October recording sessions immediately before and after the sessions of 15 & 16 October.
Best wishes Trevor Rippingale.

More likely, it's Johnny Dodds on his 1926 recording with Louis as sideman.
