I can tell you anything you want to know about the Max Miller Archive because I am the owner of it. And I can confirm that the Bechet/Miller recordings do indeed exist. I have 15 acetate masters of music Sidney Bechet recorded with Max Miller in Chicago on more than one occasion. As to their importance, I can only say that the music sounds good, Bechet's solos are strong, and his tone is great. Max left recordings made with a number of well known jazz musicians. His archive consists of approximately 160 acetate masters and 72 reel to reel tapes.
