Thanks, Mike. Just changed the link in the first post.

Bank loans make miracles...

The two Frogs and the Hep pretty much cover the 1926-1932 period of the Bennie Moten band, with the best audio quality.

I'm in. Just preordered this set, together with the Savory and the Teddy Wilson. Autumn listening guaranteed!

Bennie Moten's Kansas City Orchestra ‎– "Justrite" -- The Victor Recordings, Volume 1 (Frog, 1926-28)

Sure! I also have those mythical recordings in the King Jazz cds (I own all six "Complete Heritage" King Oliver discs) as well as in some diverse compilations. The Archeophone are clearly superior, sound-wise. And the Frog cds cover a later period.
