| | Charlie Barnet LPs with Maynard Ferguson |
 | | It came about because on July 30, 1949, Charlie Barnet was performing at the Rendezvous Ballroom in Balboa, California, and Woody Herman was performing down the coast a bit at a club in Oceanside. |
 | | The result is a memorable recording, with Barnet's band playing Bop City, Ill Wind, Bebop Spoken Here, and Claude Reigns, Herman's band playing 5 tunes of their own, and the two bands combined playing More Moon. |
 | | Did you know that Maynard recorded with Charlie Barnet in 1956, and the tunes wound up on an LP called "Lonely Street?" Yes, it's true, and here it is. The original, which was issued in 1957, has "Verve Records, Inc." on the bottom of the label. |
