IMHO the  2 78's recorded with Goodman et all are the best performances of Reginald's reed writing, since the rhythm is much more subtle and pliant than the Foresythe British band recordings (though I am still collecting them, he was a fascinating arranger, and bands like Hines, Kemp, Waller, Warlop and Stone were all using his arrangements or recording his songs).

Yes, Yves, I do have the "Homage". There is a Foresythe CD on Bvhaast.

It doesn't include any of the Deccas. Anyone have his Italian recordings?
