Notes

These are AM broadcasts, not studio tracks; and acetates, not digital recordings. So they're noisy, ok?

Some first-class talent here, including
Lionel Hampton, Fletcher Henderson, Johnny Guarnieri, Charlie Christian, Art Bernstein, Nick Fatool, Gene Krupa, Dave Tough, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, and more
