Charlie Parker - Dizzy Atmosphere (2/28/45)

Gotta love Bird with a bouncy rhythm section: Sid Catlett (drums) and Slam Stewart (bass).

Charlie Christian - Swing to Bop (5/41)

Amazing "field recording" of the master performing live at the legendary Minton's Playhouse in 1941 with Kenny Clarke on drums and Thelonious Monk on piano. Thanks to Fernando Ortiz de Urbina for recommending this a long time ago.

Dizzy Gillespie - U.M.M.G. (2/19/59)

Per Ethan Iverson's interview with Wynton Marsalis.

Charlie Parker - Moose The Mooche (3/28/46)

Perfection!  Recorded the same day as this one.

Lonnie Johnson - I'm Not Rough (12/10/25)

Lonnie Johnson tearin' it up with Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five.

Lennie Tristano - C Minor Complex (circa '60-'62)

Happy birthday Lennie! He could play the most amazing bass lines. Based on "Pennies From Heaven" in minor.

Bill Evans - Walking Up (5/29/65)

This Bill Evans solo comes to you by the recommendation of Philip Padouvas.
