I’m looking for a version of Sidney Bechet’s composition of “Buddy Bolden Stomp”. It’s the version that the Harlem Hot Shots use for one of their Charleston Routines. The recording is about 2:25 seconds long and I’m suspicious it’s not Bechet, but off this album:
Tomas Örnberg -A selection from "Buddy Bolden Stomp"
Gunnar Lidberg"Swing Violin " Pygmé Jazzband and Stans Band Link
I’m almost cretin it’s a studio recording and I believe it’s only made up of a Sax and rhythm section. If there is any other instruments it very much in the background. The arrangement is very similar to Bechet’s 47 recording but without the piano, it’s also missing some bridges and it’s also a lot faster than Bechet’s recording.
Below is a list of Bechet’s recordings of it, and I’m almost 100% it’s not any of these
Can any one advise me if they know the recording I’m talking about that would be great.
Thanks
Brian

Sorry I forgot to post this! I can't even remember who helped me find it, but I did track it down, after a 7-year search:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Buddy-Bolden-St ... B003XSVZXC
Album: "Homage to New Orleans" on the "Giants of Jazz" label
Just one of those European mix CDs w/ some really neat gems--no idea where they dug it out of.
Recorded w/ Claude Luter's band as the artist, Sidney Bechet as a featured member.
