“Wildflower Rag” – Clarence Williams and his Orchestra (1928)

Clarence Williams recorded this snappy take of “Wildflower Rag” in an inspired session from November of 1928 that included King Oliver on cornet. Originally released on the scarce QRS label.

This unofficial dubbed release on the Jazz Collector label is from the late 1940s. Unlike the credits on this label, both Brian Rust and Tom Lord show Ed Cuffee, Arville Harris, and Leroy Harris on this session.

Credits:
Ed Allen, King Oliver – cornet
Ed Cuffee – trombone
Arville Harris – clarinet, alto sax
Ben Waters – clarinet, tenor sax
Clarence Williams -piano
