Seabreeze: Regarding Clarence Williams' recording of High Society (Okeh 8706, recorded July 2, 1929) Brian Rust's Jazz Records 1897-1942 6th edition lists "unknown" as the clarinetist, as does Tom Lord's book on Williams. So someone, at some point, has GUESSED it is Tio. I vehemently disagree. The clarinetist on this record has nowhere near the ability that Tio demonstrated on his recordings with Piron. The High Society clarinetist plays in a very elementary way and sounds like he's reading a simple part. High Society was a tune Tio likely played many times in New Orleans and would've played much more elegantly.

I know the man who posted that on youtube. I'll contact him and ask him why he thinks it's Tio. It's possible he just guessed that, or someone he knows did.

As you probably know, there are enumerable mis-identifications in jazz discographies. Many were done by well-intended record collectors who often don't hear things as well as musicians do. Sadly it's too late to check these things with those participating in the sessions, and even when they were asked in the past oftentimes they couldn't remember or weren't sure. In the case of Tom Lord's Clarence Williams book, it was published in 1976 when some of the players were still around, and he would've consulted with them regarding session personnel.
