Just in case some Pres fans may have missed this thread :excited:

On the other hand, this looks like it could be another one of those copyright nightmares that could prevent us from ever hearing the music.

Anyone seen our remastering hero, Doug Pomeroy singing alongside with Pres' solo while tuning the transfer of "One O'Clock Jump" recorded at Rhode Island Swing Festival? For about 70 years the thought was these recordings were lost forever...

Also, that solo on "Tea For Two" is great and intense as anything Pres recorded commercial in those years - comparable to "Lady Be Good", or another live WNEW broadcast from 1938. ("I Know That You Know")...

Is that "I Know That You Know" available?
