Summary
The great Basie trumpeter Buck Clayton took a band to Europe in the fall of 1949 for about nine months - those recordings are elsewhere on this station! These are appearances by Clayton with two other groups led by pianists - Willie "The Lion" Smith and his Quartet (with Claude Luter and Wallace Bishop) and Earl Hines (with Barney Bigard, Arvell Shaw and Bishop). Four tracks by Hines with just bass and drums recorded on the same date are also included . . .
