[Dixielandjazz] Charlie Barnet and compilations

[Robert Newman]

Sure.    Charlie Barnet released Bluebird B10453 ten-inch 78rpm.   The A 
Side is THE DUKE'S IDEA, and the B Side is THE COUNT'S IDEA.  It resides 
proudly in my pristine collection of  original 78's.   I would guess it 
dates to about 1938 or 1939.
