The great New Orleans clarinetist Jimmie Noone had prolific life in the recording studio with his band, variously called the Apex Club, El Rado or Nest Orchestra,   the two reed front line was unique, as was the focus on sophisticated pop songs of the day in addition to jazz and blues.  In these last four sessions (1931, 33, 34, and 35) Noone is paired with saxophonist and vocalist Eddie Pollack and occasionally trumpeter Jimmy Cobb along with either Zinky Cohn or Earl Hines on piano, John Henley on guitar, either Quinn Wilson or John Lindsay on bass and Benny Jackson on drums.
