There's a prominent string bass audible on the Armstrong session of 
December 12, 1928, which produced "Heah Me Talkin' To Ya?, "St. James' 
Infirmary" and "Tight Like This". This seems to have eluded 
discographers. At first I thought it might be Zutty Singleton thumping 
away on bass drum, but his cymbals appear to be at the other end of the 
studio.
