Don't think this was posted on here. Good stuff.
And they plug the 9 CD set of Louis Live produced originally by GA. (anyone bought this yet?)
Plus - interview with GA and LA from the 50s.

Nice video. George's son used to post on this board (hi, Greg!).Eyeball wrote: And they plug the 9 CD set of Louis Live produced originally by GA. (anyone bought this yet?)
The (Mosaic) set hasn't been listed for pre-order yet, but I'm sure several of us will jump on it once it is, though.

You answered my question re the box 9 CD set. Not out yet.
Ya - it was an intriguing video. There are other old school producers out there, I suppose and I wish someone would get to them.....like this woman whose name I used to see on the back of every big band reissue I bought on the RCA Camden label - Ethel Gabriel.
