1. The CORNET solo is by Douglas MacNamee. The 1932 Triangle Club Orchestra 
also included Bud Wilson-trombone, Jack Howe-sax, Charles E. Smith-Piano and 
Sheldon Smith-guitar. Jose Ferrer was also in this band and contributed a 
vocal to Sweet Georgia Brown-their hottest side outside of "Strong Talk' - 
another Personal Label issue of their take on Farewell Blues. He was very 
gracious when I corresponded with him in 1987 about these sides; Jimmy 
Stewart did not acknowledge any communications. The 1932 Princeton 
graduating class was loaded with very talented individuals, both in and out 
of music.
2. SOME Personal recordings of this period are of interest to many non-ultra 
collectors as many are excellent musically and may also represent early 
efforts by bands that either as entire or partial personnel later recorded 
for the major labels. They are not all vanity pressings-For example the 
Princeton recordings were actively sold at the Princeton Bookstore-as were 
other collegiate Jazz groups at their respective bookstores.
3. If you bid high enough you don't have to worry about the bidsnipe 
programs.

T

There are three trumpet players that come to mind:one was Bo Ashford,who 
worked
with Ozzie Nelson
in the late '30s(he takes a tepid solo on Nelson's 1938 Bluebird of "Says My
Heart");Bob Bruce and the
third was a guy named Priestly,a guitarist taught cornet by Bix himself
according to Dick Sudhalter.

I've just listened one more time to The Princeton Triangle Club's "Day After
Day on Columbia P- ?
After Stewart's gut wrenching (mine) vocal rendition there is a magnificent
trumpet solo.
Does anyone know the identity of this person?
