  4. This looks like it's a great session with Herrn AvS. I totally overlooked this post from way back when. Any chance someone could offer a re-up of the lossless?

  10. rebf942, are you talking about SAJ-31? The info is, for example, here:
    http://www.discogs.com/RAI-Big-Band-Soloists-Jelly-Roll-/release/2760020
    Check the track listing. HTH. And we all can keep our fingers crossed that d:o will re-release this concert eventually.

  11. Many thanks for this. I'm going to a talk on "The Music of Jelly Roll Morton played by others" - somehow I don't think Alex will be on the playlist. I will bring his versions to the attention of the speaker.
