There is a version of Japanese Sandman that has a solo that rivals any he did..just stunning! I am halfway across the country right now, so not near my CD's, but when I get homne next weekend I'll try to get the particulars.

Your right. I overlooked that one. I added it to my list.

I would also add the solos from " Ou est-tu mon amour?" from the 1949 sessions, "Liebestraum #3", "All the things you are" from 49 is also a great one.

Hi,

that tune actually isn't [i]Air mail Special[/i] (which has also sometimes been published on record as [i]Good Enough to Keep[/i]), although some discographies so argue and Fremeaux them have believed. Air Mail Special is a classic Charlie Christian/Benny Goodman showcase, this tune in Integrale 19 is [b]Jumping with symphony Sid[/b].

WHAT !? :shock: U forgotten the echoes of france solo.

Musette

Where is "Miss Annabelle Lee"? :shock: , a very notable solo. 8)

Lango-Django

Well, here's a vote for "Honeysuckle Rose", with its amazing whole-tone passages...
