Many Christian recordings exist, but the sound quality, frankly, is variable. Not any more! Remastering of Christian's best broadcasts and jam sessions exposes sounds not heard for sixty years. And allows old questions to be answered.Genius? No doubt about it. Unmistakeably! WithBenny Goodman, Lionel Hampton, Lester Young, Buck Clayton, Count Basie, Teddy Wilson and many others.67 sides on 4 discs, including Stardust, Flying Home, I Got Rhythm, Tea For Two, Memories Of You, Stomping At The Savoy, Honeysuckle Rose, Good Morning Blues, Paging The Devil and many more.
