bichos Posted June 15, 2012 Report Posted June 15, 2012 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. keep boppin´ marcel Quote
ghost of miles Posted January 3 Report Posted January 3 The Glenn Miller Music Society has begun to issue limited-edition two-CD sets of Chesterfield broadcasts by the Miller band from 1940 to 1942, drawn from the archives in Boulder and consisting mostly of previously-unissued performances. I got Volume 1 as a Christmas present last year, and volume 2 is on the way. Glenn Miller limited edition v. 1 Glenn Miller limited edition V. 2 Quote
