I am forever astounded by the greatness of these jazz musicians. It is absolutely stunning, especially when you realize many of them recorded in the days before our current hi-tech technology. Studio time was costly so they had to go in and get it right. And my, oh my, did they ever get it right!!! Thanks so much for posting!!!!
Great photos and some rare ones too. I think though that the band shown at 0.40 is Fletcher Henderson's and the close up is of a young Coleman Hawkins rather than Bechet.
