It looks like my older brother and I might be sharing a house soon. His wife of 60 years just passed away and although he just turned 80, he's in better shape than I am at 10 years his junior. He's always been a fan of the big band era and I have no big band LPs and would like to get some for him to enjoy.
Any suggestions on good Miller, James, Count Basie, et al? Any ideas appreciated.
