Fourth, Lester Young and Charles Christian were very aware they were being recorded 24 December 1939 at Carnegie Hall. The 28 October 1940 session is not...
Shouldn't it be incumbent on you to make a bit better of an argument first of all? Beyond merely asserting that so-and-so is unreliable, and this or that time...
