Comment:

My birthday mix this year is a jazz mix built around BeBop but features a lot of non bop tracks. For example the Sidney Bechet is a haunting tune that I can't get out of my head and "Fools Rush In..." is one of my all time favorite songs. The highlight of the mix is a live version of "Night In Tunisia" done 5/15/53 at Massey Hall in Toronto. The lineup that night was Dizzy Gillespie-Trumpet, Charlie Parker (as Charlie Chan)-Alto Sax, Bud Powell-piano, Charles Mingus-Bass and Max Roach-Drums.

This looks great - and it makes me realize how many essential jazz artists I still don't own anything by.
