Oooh, there's a new Mosaic box set out, Classic V-Disc Small Group Jazz Sessions. V-Discs were records made exclusively for American armed forces broadcast services during World War II, at a time when no commerical recordings were happening because of a strike by the musicians union. Many great performances by major artists!
The discs were supposed to have been destroyed after the war, but of course many survived. I actually own a few myself.
