yes, not really new: it was more than a year ago that this happened! more importand is (i think) the ed burke archive with over 7.000 hours of live recordings. most of it airchecks from the big band era with unique recordings! some of it was released on the "jazz hour" label. i love the harry james live recordings from 1948 for example.
