Harry James & his Orchestra, Aragon Ballroom, Chicago, October '52

Grew up on this stuff, but after so many years of digging post Dizzy trumpeters, I find James' molasses-soaked tone a little tough to digest. The opening "Ultra" however is a kick, an obvious re-working of "How High the Moon".

Jazz Odyssey, Vol. II: The Sound of Chicago (Columbia) - disc one. I have most of this stuff elsewhere, but this set has some very cool rare tracks.

Lyle Murphy - 12-Tone Compositions and Arrangements (Contemporary)

The Sunny Meadows Radio Show - 1929 (Sunbeam). Pretty interesting - two episodes of one of the first transcribed radio shows, sponsored by the Meadows Washing Machine Company. Side one features Ray Miller's dance band from Chicago, with young Muggsy Spanier.
