If you click on the "liner notes" box, you get the full liner notes and complete discographical information. It looks exciting!

Fantastic!

Yes, the improvement in sound quality from the Decca set is HUGE. Alternatively, HEP was the first label to issue the Decca recordings digitally in outstanding sound. I bought the Masters of Jazz series when it came out, so much extraordinary live Basie from the 30s.

I imagine that the remaining two are the Fate Marable recordings from 1924: Frankie and Johnny and Pianoflage.

Thanks

Thanks. On the recording, there is also the beginning of Green Dolphin Street (Miles' solo) following So What.

Fascinating! Thanks I was just reading about how Miles wanted Buddy Montgomery to come with them to Europe in 1960, but Buddy was too afraid to fly. It is really nice to have this unique recording of the sextet with him.

This one hurts. He was in his prime.

The one early Wynton Marsalis record that has somehow stayed with me is J Mood. I don't know why, but sometimes I just feel like listening to it. It has a certain vibe that I like.

Looks exciting!

Happy birthday!!!!!!!

In my discography, Diggin' Diz with Bird is D1000. It is the first recording ever made on Dial. Diggin For Diz is Dial 1002. Dial 1004 is When I Grow Too Old to Dream" recorded at the same session as Diggin' For Diz.

This particular broadcast was notable for capturing the time that Billie Holiday was the female singer in the Basie band.

Yea, there is a lot of echo (reverb) on Sonny's horn on the studio tracks.
