Jabbo Smith

Post by Toobist »

Hi all,

Was introduced to some great historical recordings of Jabbo Smith this weekend.

Can anyone shed light on the name of the tuba player on his original recordings?

According to this reference there were two tuba players on the 1929 recordings, Hayes Alvis and Lawson Buford:
