Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.
CD comes with 16-sided booklet with discographical information and extensive notes by enthusiast Bob Wilber. For example, he says The Sheikh of Araby was a landmark in phonograph technology, the very first use of the overdubbing process that is so common today. Bechet plays all instruments on the track. There is also much other interesting information about this carefully selected collection of tracks grouped on this CD in chronological order.
Tracks 1 and 2 Recorded New York, 15 September 1932
