My choices to start:
Bix - Clementine with Jean Goldkette -also- Sweet Sue with Whiteman
Eddie Miller - Slow Mood a.k.a. Love's Got Me in a Mellow Mood
Joe Yukl - Body and Soul, on Jump label 78
James P. Johnson - Snowy Morning Blues
Anything by the Prez
Bobby Hackett solo on Glenn Miller's "From One Love to Another."

More later - too hot now to think, perfect time to have a drink!
