Louis Armstrong - Struttin' With Some Barbecue (12/9/27)

Been obsessed with this track lately. You must hear Lee Konitz's version with valve trombonist Marshall Brown.

 

Warne Marsh - I Got Rhythm (1977)

Bootleg recording of Warne playing along with the Charlie Parker Jamey Aebersold record!

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.
