Dust To Digital (the wonderful people behind Goodbye, Babylon) released a smattering of wonderful albums towards the end of last year. Apparently I was the last one to know about this, so I’m late posting samples from their new box set How Low Can You Go? The first major anthology of string bass in pre-war music. This Fletcher Henderson led jazz track from 1930 features John Kirby on string bass and was a big come back record for Henderson which would take him in to the 1930s and would eventually lead to Henderson finding and backing some of the best female blues singers of the era.

Buy this box set direct from the wonderful people at Dust To Digital.
