There is a 1948 album called "The Jazz Scene" that Normal Granz produced, sort of the last gasp of 78s. Cost $25 which was a giant sum for any album then, let alone one comprising 78s.

Among the discs is one featuring a solo Coleman Hawkins in an original he wrote, called "Picasso." I've taken to playing this for audiobuddies simply to establish that there was great musical sound being recorded long before the likes of hi rez downloads, SACDs, and whatever the next latest-and-greatest might be. It always does the trick :-)

EDIT: Forgot to mention that although Granz absolutely promised that "The Jazz Scene" would never be reissued in any form, there was a CD that came out in the 1980s that sounds absolutely excruciating. Yeah, I bought it.
