Love this guy. He grew up in Oklahoma and was a buddy of Earl Bostic's. Sonny Stitt saw him cut down Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Chu Berry and Ben Webster in a jam session. What a saxophonist he was! Great post.
Great playing. This is definitely a solo he's put together and has been working on for a few years. There's a recording of this tune on a bootleg album from '41 (Charlie Christian Afterhours) where he plays a lot of the same material. This is easily my favorite version of Stardust.
