8 mixes with tracks by “pee wee russell”

TomCat just reached one hundred 8tracks followers—thank you!—and jazz cats everywhere are celebrating. In honor of that milestone, here are a dozen of my favorite sides by Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Don Byron, Kenny Davern and other clarinet kings, past and present. Spreadably good!

Eleven tracks including music by Bud Freeman, Buster Bailey and Coleman Hawkins.

Ten tracks including music by Acker Bilk, Johnny Dodds, and Hubert Rostaing.

Really. I love them all. dogpossum.org/2009/12/8-songs-from-1935-that-i-love/">Set details.

Eight tracks including music by Abdullah Ibrahim, Bessie Smith and Fletcher Henderson & His Orchestra.

A bunch of songs by Eddie Condon from my limited collection. He played guitar, but he's probably more interesting for his radio and telly shows role in bringing artists together.
