ARCHIVE.ORG has been building a collection of old 78 recordings. You can find old recordings of Charlie Christina, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, Mike Jackson, Duke, Dizzy, and the list goes on. I have this filtered by jazz but you may want to explore other options. Some of these are kinda fun to listen to. Give it a try

what amp do you all like for jazz? Seems like the Henriksen Bud is the best in breed, not quite ready to shell out > 1k at this point though. My tube amp sounds great, but too heavy to haul around. Maybe one of the Quilter power blocks and a small cab?
Sweet 16 I bought from Rich is scheduled to arrive today... I feel like Darren McGavin (sp?) in Christmas Story doing a jig and singing "Tonight, tonight, hot-damn it's coming tonight"
Anyone use strap locks on their archtop? If so, what kind?
What's everyone working on these days? I started the Fingerstyle Playing and Arranging course. I'm also working on Rich's arrangement of Little Surfer Girl. (new guy here)
Hi Rich, I'm working on the tune "A Smooth One." It's primarily G7, C7, F. The G7 throws me off. I know I can play F and C7. I'm sure I can play Dm. But a friend of mine to me this song is Fm. I know the major issue is that G7 has a B in it. What are your thoughts on playing thru this sequence?
Does anyone know the sound difference between a wooden bridge and a tune-amatic on a Gibson ES 175? I am interested in getting an L4 sound out of my 175. I'm tempted to add a little bridge pickup into the mix.
