Still picking up V-Discs and just got a great one, if you like jazz. Some fine talent in a session recorded at the Metropolitan Opera House in April 1944, apparently put together by Esquire magazine:
163a "Tea For Two" Featuring Barney Bigard, Roy Eldridge, Lionel Hampton, and Art Tatum, with Al Casey, Sid Catlett, and Oscar Pettiford
163b "Blues" and "Esquire Bounce" Louis Armstrong, Roy Eldridge, Coleman Hawkins, Barney Bigard, Jack Teagarden, Art Tatum, Sidney Catlee, All Casey, Oscar Pettiford
