Chronological Classics - Rex Stewart: 1934-1946
Stewart was best known for his "talking" style of cornet playing in Duke Ellington's
Orchestra. The material he recorded in other settings for The Hot Record
Society and other labels is no less compelling. This Chronological Classics
CD is getting a bit pricey and tough to find but it is well worth looking for
if you're a fan of Duke Ellington's pre-WWII material or 1930s and 40s swing.
The sound quality is surprisingly good.
