Buster Bailey - Buster Bailey - Memphis Blues (His 47 Finest 1924-1958)

Jazz history has produced few masters to rival the phenomenal technical mastery of William C. �Buster� Bailey (1902-1967). Given different social conditions he might have forged a career as a classical soloist, but it was as a superlative jazz performer that his long career (46 years!) almost traced the development of the form, from its earliest day�s right through to the Sixties.
