The second record (Okeh 8719) has a bit of a history mystery tied to it regarding who the tenor sax player may be. Scott Bagby laid claim to the performance while Herchel Evans (of Count Basie fame) did the same. A very convincing column in favor of Evans can be found here.
Anyway, since I do not have that record, it doesn't matter here as it is definitely Bagby on tenor below.
This record has been previously enjoyed to death as you will hear.
