Of course, evidence of a trombone immediately before or after the solo, would rule out conclusively George Brunis as the player of the solo.
Evidently, the disappearance of Bix a few bars before the solo and his reappearance a few bars after the solo are compatible with Evans contention that Bix is playing piano while Brunis is playing kazoo.
Ted Lewis and His Band recorded "San" in 1930, and here you'll find George Brunis carrying on, presumably with his trombone mouthpiece, much in the manner he does on the Wolverines' "Lazy Daddy." Besides, Bix never played cornet in the hokey style of the Wolverines' mouthpiece player.
