In this place you'll see a list of newly shared dates:
:: 2009-05-04 ::
Newly added contribution (thank you Kent!):
Count Basie meets the Master Horns, 1936-1953 (compilation)
Also, Kent generously shared two non-Basie compilations, dedicated to the music of Freddie Webster and Tadd Dameron's Big Ten group.
These can be found under the (admittedly silly) label non-Basie sounds
All of these compilations can also be found under the label compilations, of course!
Hope you enjoy the music! And don't forget to drop a thank you to Kent!
