Talk:James "Bubber" Miley

Untitled
I cut this from the article: "He performed on the first recording session with blues singer Bessie Smith." Yes, according to Clarence Williams and Sidney Bechet, they made a never-issued recording session for Okeh Records. No copies of any test pressings are known to exist, alas. I'm not sure we should mention this in the article unless we wish to give enough details to explain why this recording isn't on any of the reissues of Smith's recordings. -- Infrogmation 11:14, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

info from discography, but since it's unissued (and...extinct)there's no sense in confusing folks

Bubber made his first recordings with Mamie Smith, not Bessie Smith
