[78-L] I give up!

[Julian Vein]

A reading from a book about Louis Armstrong. To illustrate an example of 
Louis playing a short solo on a Henderson side, they play an excerpt 
that only has a Charlie Green trombone solo! Go to 8.25. I remember 
years ago someone played a Miles Davis record for an example of John 
Coltrane, but chose one where both he and Hank Mobley played, and they 
only played the Mobley solo... Then there was Charles Edward Smith who 
played a Basie record for an example of Lester Young's style, but chose 
one with a Buddy Tate solo. When the error was pointed out to him, his 
response was "For the purpose of this exercise it IS Lester Young."
