| I think I have just purchased the DVD that these youtube bits come from. On the Storyville label, #16035. Two sessions, with Salt Peanuts, Be Baba Leba, Oop Bop She Bam, Convulsion, Shaw'Nuff and I waited for you on one, Night in Tunisia, Crazy About a Man (Helen Humes on vocals), One Bass Hit, Dynamo A, Ornithology, He Beeped When He Should Have Bopped, Grosveor's Square, Things to Come, Ray's Idea and Bag's Boogie on the other. Listed as from 1946 or 1947. There are a couple three duets with Dan Burley and Johnny Taylor duo interspersed. What a great Freaking band! No one-NO ONE-ever came close in jazz to what Dizzy did, he's the ne plus ultra, ultima thule, baddest man ever.
