MASON-DIXON ORCHESTRA performing What a Day! / Alabammy Snow.

1929 issue; recorded in New York, May 15, 1929.

Personnel:

Andy Secrest (cnt) Charlie Margulis (tp) or Bix Beiderbecke (cnt) Bill Rank (tb) Irving Friedman (cl,as) Frankie Trumbauer (c-mel) Charles Strickfaden (as,bar) Min Leibrook (bassax) Lennie Hayton (p,arr) Eddie Lang or Snoozer Quinn (g) George Marsh (d,harpophone).

“…in the discographies and books about Bix, it has always been accepted that he was not present and that everything on this record that sounds like Bix was actually played by Secrest.
However, careful listening and deducting reveals that Bix can be heard on both sides.
Using the latest techniques we have newly restored both titles from a mint copy of Columbia 1861-D and identification of Bix has become quite obvious.
First of all, on both sides Secrest is the very prominent lead cornetist and it is clear that there is only one other cornet present – Bix.” - from the78rpmspins website
