Want (need) arcane Sidney Bechet Info

[mspepper]

I'm looking for some really arcane info about SIDNEY BECHET. When I was seven I had a record telling "the story of jazz" by the Young People's Record Club. On my windup victrola, I wore that thing OUT, dropping the needle again and again at the point where Sidney Bechet and His New Orleans Feet Warmers began to play. My question: What were they playing? Even if you have no idea (I said it was arcane info), if you can suggest some other places to ask this question I'd be so grateful.

P.S. This would have been '47 or '48.

You'll probably be able to recognize what the Sidney Bechet Feetwarmers were playing by listening to samples from their music here.

Wonderful music!

Thanks, friends. No wonder I couldn't find it. Wrong band!

A guy named Scott at Mosaic Records researched it after I got in touch with Michael Cuscuna. He wrote to Cuscuna: "I think this person is getting Edmond Hall mixed up with Sidney Bechet. The YPR record she’s probably looking for is called “Jazz Band” and features Teddy Wilson, Ed Hall, Jimmy Crawford, Buck Clayton and Eddie Safranski. She can search and get a CDR at www.kiddierekordking.com."

BTW, that site is WONDERFUL. I'm buying an mp3.
