Va adjunta una pequeña fotito de los "dramatis personae" (entre paréntesis, la eficiente cantante es la diminuta Eva Taylor).

This is one of the most astounding musical duels ever recorded... The contenders: Sydney Bechet (Soprano Sax) and Louis "Pops" Armstrong (Cornet)... After the early melodic and singing proceedings, Pops and Bechet meet in the middle of the ring. Bechet draws the first blood with some breathtaking sax contrapunctual lines and believing that Armstrong is groggy moves back then Pop plays a chorus like if his life depended of it, surprised, Bechet tries to hit back playing loud around Pops solo, Pops takes a second chorus and knocks him down for the count. Just marvellous !!!
