Here is the third and final recording of the clever “A Pane in the Glass”, this time with Clarence accompanied by his Jazz Kings. The form is a 12 bar blues in Eb, with solos as follows:
0:00 Intro
0:25 Trumpet solo (Ed Anderson)
0:52 Tenor sax solo
1:17 Trombone solo (Geechie Fields)
1:43 Clarinet solo
2:08 Trumpet solo (Ed Allen)
2:33 Ensemble
There is (as always seems to be the case), some disagreement on the identities of the reedmen on this recording – and I give Rust’s personnel as a starting point for discussion. The other interesting player on this session seems to be Geechie Fields of Jelly Roll Morton’s Red Hot Peppers.
You will note that the previous caretaker of this disc mischievously attempted to make the innuendo of the title a tad more explicit by attempting to cover up the “G” and “L” in the word “Glass” on the label.
Recorded in New York City on August 26, 1929.
Released as Columbia 14460-D.
