[78-L] Pianist questions

[Ray Kilcoyne]

This from Bear Family:
It's not Martin's first record.  It was recorded in New York City in October 
1947.  He did 4 sides, 2 78's, in July 1946 for Diamond Records. You have 
the personnel for Apollo 1088 exactly as it is listed here.

Two recent additions to the ol' collection have a little mystery as far as
who is playing piano.

Apollo 1088   Dean Martin with Jerry Jerome's All Stars.  "Oh Marie" b/w
"Walkin' My Baby Back Home."  Nice accomp. band.  Label credits Johnny Mince
on clarinet,  Cozy Cole,  Cedric Wallace...those are all real  guys but then
it lists "Cliff White" on guitar and "Jimmy Rivers" on piano...both of those
sound like pseudonyms to me.

I wonder if the piano is Rowles?   I don't have a discography which covers
this,  so any info about recording date or personnel would be appreciated.
For all I know it may be Dino's first record...
