Coleman Hawkins and Roy Eldridge at the Opera House. (Released '04; recorded much earlier)

I downloaded this about a month ago because I wanted to learn more about Roy Eldridge. It features the members of the Modern Jazz Quartet (minus Milt Jackson) as the rhythm section with Hawk and Roy. It is a great chance to hear two of the best horn players of the swing era in dialogue. Both are exuberant, assertive players. Check out "Stuffy."

  1. Check out the dvd "Roy Eldridge '77" where he is playing with Oscar Peterson and Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen. I especially love the song "I Surrender Dear." I like when he adds some tenderness to his sass.
