FWIW, that session is available on the Coleman Hawkins JSP set ("Essential Sides Remstared"). Sound is excellent. I'll end up getting the Mosaic, too, eventually, but the JSP is a nice cheaper alternative. The JSP set is indeed very nice, but I would call it a complement rather than an al...

Bummer that Esquire Bounce was not included. (No, I don't own The Complete Commodore Recordings... :cry: )

I've been thru the whole set twice now, wow. The highpoint for me was the late 1933 Allen-Hawkins-Hendersson(Horace) stuff in ace sound quality.

I received my set, #585, today. I've enjoyed lots of excellent-sounding Fletcher Henderson tracks so far.

The Hawkins set has finally shipped, after several months of extra delay. Drool...

Let's hope that the Webb/Fitzgerald will see the light of day this year as well.

Yes, the Brittwood was a jazz club in Harlem.

Don't miss the Onyx songs I posted above.

Frankie Newton - The Brittwood Stomp [1937]
King Oliver - Rhythm Club Stomp [1930]
Count Basie - Cafe Society Blues [1942]
Meade Lux Lewis - Cafe Society Rag [1939]
Lu Watters - Sunset Cafe Stomp [1942]

Cool! Thanks for the update!

I have extreme trouble hearing the guitar though. Maybe it's there in the background somewhere, supporting the bass.

Yuck, I've listened to this song too many times in a row now - it's not THAT good!

Everything else aside, if you listen to a good quality remaster of the track (e.g. the GRP disc), you can clearly hear Webb's syncopated (and very varied) drumming.

Not calling this swing and claiming that you should not lindy hop to it sounds bizarre. After all, this was what they played for the lindy hoppers at the Savoy.

Mezz Mezzrow - Hot Club stomp [1937] - specific enough?
Harry Roy - Roy Club rag [1937] - real club?
Dicky Wells - Hot Club blues [1937] - ?
Buddy Johnson - Troyon Club swing [1941]

Joe Venuti - Onyx Club Revue/Record [1933/1934]
Frankie Newton - The Onyx Hop [1937]
Eddie Wiggins - Onyx Jump [1946]
Will Hudson - Midnight at the Onyx [1936]
Joe Sullivan - Onyx Bring Down [1933]

"Swingin' at the Sugar Bowl" - about a fictitious ice-cream parlor or something, so doesn't qualify

"The Mark Hop" - recorded at Mark Hopkins Hotel!

Couldn't resist, sorry...
