Modern equipment can make this bright again. Some of the latest Charlie Christian at Minton's are "miles ahead" from their old sound.

@l2udolph Really, I too loved playing this song on the alto. It's little melody phrases, all seeming to go nowhere, then suddenly resolving themselves. The whole song then became a logical tense springboard for an improvised solo. Bird does a kind of disjointed one, then Fats and Bud roll along on the flowing beautiful chord changes. This and Bird's Scrapple From The Apple are among my favorites of his compositions.

I will not buy this record, it is scratched.
Despite that a brilliant performance shines through....

@Jemmer1000 when i get into a long listening session, no matter what artists i start with, i seem to inevitably end up "climaxing" my listening session with Bird, scratches or not. but off-the shelf yea the bad sound is, initially especially, pretty unattractive.

The best concert ever in my opinion." Fatsblows" give the right personel. Bud is really the most talented pianist ever; a melodic, rhythmic and swinging genius ! The whole concert in Birdland, may 1950, is on CD. I bought the double vinyl album years ago, but it's still my favorite. Listen also to Bud on Out of nowhere at the same concert.

@hanschook play this loud enough on a good hi-fi (eg.5.1 surround 250 watts per) and i swear by half-way through Bud's flight i feel like i'm on the world's fastest roller coaster!
