Great performances by Joe Farrell, Freddy Hubbard, Nat King Cole, Ellington All Stars, Harry James & his Music Makers, Les & Larry Elgart, Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughan, Carmen McCrae, Muggsy Spanier, Earl “Fatha” Hines.  These recordings span a period from 1943 (Nat King Cole- Pitchin’ Up A Boogie, written by Cab Callaway) to 1982 (Joe Farrell- You Stepped Out Of A Dream).  Includes early live recording of Harry James & His Music Makers.  Les and Larry Elgart’s Makin’ Whopee is the first time ever live stereo recording (1955).  Also includes Carmen McRae's recording debut, under the name Carmen Clarke (she was married to drummer Kenny Clark) in 1961.  Charlie Parker plays “Big Foot” with Miles Davis and Max Roach.  Also features Earl ‘Fatha’ Hines playing Humoresque on his second to last recording session.  Historically cool.
