Yeah, I just found it on iTune Store and just bought it! Awesome song! I love Sidney Bechet... from album:The Best of Sidney Bechet By the way, does anyone know when this was recorded? (iTune file just show when the CD was released, which is 1994, but I am sure that's not when the song was recorded!)

Hi. So I thought a new Campus 5 CD was going to be released this spring, but it is now Memorial Weekend, and I haven't heard what happened to it. I am moving out of this country in a couple of month, and I would like to buy it before I leave US (if possible), so I am curious when it is going to be r...

Yeah, I love Janet Klein. I have couple of her CDs. A local DJ in Richmond also like her songs, and he started playing some songs from her CDs. Overall, I think crowds responds positively to her songs. Very distinct, individual style. I love it, but I am not sure if I want to listen to her sing all ...

What about "Come On Over To My House"? It's on the following CDs: "Julia Lee & Her Boyfriends - Disc 1 : 1944 - 1947", or "Jay McShann: Jumpin' The Blues (Disc 1)". They are the same recording, and I don't think there is a significant difference in the quality of re...

Good Benny Carter CD sets?

Hi. I like Benny Carter's album "Further Definitions" and more earlier recording done under the name of "Chocholate Dandies" as well. I would like to look into his work more, but there are too many CDs on the market. So I am wondering if you guys have any suggestions for CDs good...
