Harry Smith

The Harry Smith who recorded on clarinet in the ’20s, turning up in the roster of the compilation entitled Harlem Involves London, isn’t to become confused using a Wisconsin-based clarinetist known more formally as Harold Smith who began executing and recording equivalent music over fifty percent a century afterwards. Discographical bean counter-top Tom Lord lists one Harry Smith having performed clarinet or saxophone on almost 40 albums in the ’30s and ’40s, but this may well represent the attempts of a number of different people.
