AFRS Broadcasts

I just downloaded a batch of them after being directed to a site by mjzee. Were they done by recording full concerts or were they compiled by using different concerts? Could you really see Duke Ellington, Art Tatum and Slim and Slam in one concert?

i don´t know what afrs broadcasts you mean: "jubilee", "one night stand", "victory parade of spotlight bands", "mail call", "downbeat".....there are so many. most of them assembled programs.

the story of "afrs" is an interesting one in the history of american music, jazz and entertainment. you will find a lot of information in the books about "v-discs" by richard sears and "jubilee" by lotz/neuert or here:
