The Encyclopedia of Jazz, Part 2/5: Swing Time - The Heyday of Jazz

~ Release by Various Artists (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

74.22 is a track with an unknown band -- just about the only thing that seems to be known is that Lester Young is playing in it.


FIXME: Has this been available only as part of the 500-CD set? (Ignore re-sellers! It’s out of print, apparently.)
