The Chronological Classics: Chick Webb and His Orchestra 1935-1938

~ Release by Chick Webb and His Orchestra (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

The reference collection for completists, featuring Webb's cuts from the late 30s.
Be aware, though, that it misses the takes with Ella Fitzgerald, which you can find in the corresponding Classics release (1935-1938) for Fitzgerald.
Most (if not all) of the material is either from Decca or Brunswick vaults.
