Pretty much all the jazz I've been into has been post-bebop, never heard any swing/bigband/smallgroupswing....I got the atomic basie disc the other day, it was OK..i haven't completely warmed to all of it as yet.
I was hoping someone could reccomend some small group swing essentials. I've listened to the Django Reinhart tracks available on Mosaic and I love it...I'm not quite sure i'm ready to spend 96$ on the box but could someone point me to a disc or two that would give me a better idea as to what to expect from the box? (preferably not something that doubles on the mosaic box)....again..any small-group-essentials
thanks,
sid
