I stumbled across this CD in my local store the other day - I love it.

New Orleans Jazz

Some of the earlier stuff has a few crackles, but most of it is top notch.

Bix Biederbecke...

I love his transitional sound in the very late 20's.

Basie/Webb @ the Savoy 1938

I am trying to source the set lists for the famous 1938 battle at the Savoy between Basie and Webb (and Rushing). Does anyone know if it is documented?

Any help would be great.

been-a-lurkin' for a while but now I'm 'on-board' I reaaaally got a kick out of the tunes at Herrang this year. I've got to say though - I too did feel it was consistently 'old' and 'fast' - not a criticism at all - I loved it! At first I was a bit fired up about the speed and wanting it slowed down...
