Retrieval RTR 79032 Pre-Victors The complete set 1925 - 1927

and Jazz Oracle 8041 Fess Williams 1926-30 (2CD) This Set has the Victor's and some alternate takes to the Retrieval.

thank you--

wasn't fess the president of, or an officer in the n.y. musician's union???

[AllenLowe]

I think so - he also may have been Mingus' uncle.
