The Bennie Green select. I suppose BG was a modernist, but he's always appealed to me as a truly unclassifiable player (judicious use of vibrato, especially at the end of his phrases; an almost Prez-like rhythmic conception; totally at home with bop harmonies).

Absolutely - which is why he slotted in so well on the Buck Clayton Jam Sessions and sessions such as 'Jazz Studio 1'. In terms of stylistic flexibility, he reminds me very much of his contemporary, Frank Foster.

Argo, Emarcy and Verve Small Group Buddy Rich Sessions - disc 2. So far, I'm enjoying this one more than I expected to. There's a lot of good Sweets Edison on the first two discs.

Skipped the Lang/Venuti - money was short and it ran out too soon for me... got the JSP instead. Too bad.

Anyway, I've been catching up on some OOP sets (most recently the Satchmo All Stars and the Blue Notes from Bechet and George Lewis) and I hope if I'll be patient, the Lang may turn up, too...
