Fan of Rex from way back. 'Boy Meets Horn' was one of the very first Duke Ellington number I loved (on a 10inch French Odeon LP). The superb 1939 session with Django Reinhardt and Barney Bigard that produced gems like 'Finesse' or 'Montmartre' is an early exemple of swinging chamber jazz. I was also a fan of the articles he wrote for Down Beat in the 60s. They were reunited in the classic book 'Jazz Masters of the 30s' that remains one of the fundamental book on the music.
