I second Ben Webster, he played on many recordings with Billy Holiday, since you are a Holiday fan. One of my favorite recordings of Ben is "Time after Time" on the "Ben and Associates" CD. If you like Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins and Gene Ammons may be up your alley as well.
help me find quality classic jazz?
I am looking for early jazz recordings (1930 to 1950 I imagine). I like the standards done right or any obscure, quiet, simple jazz featuring guitar, piano, saxaphone (not fast saxaphone but slow, breathy and intimate) drums etc.
I think you get the idea, I like the old stuff but not interested in Swing or Big Band type of music but more like Billy Holiday or Charlie Christian
Any and all recommendations appreciated
for convienience I prefer CD but vinyl is fine too just often costly to find new.
thanks everyone
Phil
