Stompin' at the Savoy (mono)

~ Release by Chick Webb and His Orchestra (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Cheap bundle ripping through Webb vaults. Unless your budget really is short, you should definitely prefer the GRP Spinnin' the Webb sampler (if you want something in one disc), or possibly the Proper Records 4-disc set, or both Chronological releases (if you're looking for something exhaustive).
