I know, Colin, I have plenty of these sheet-type booklets in other Folkways LPs from the 50s and 60s. Except that the printouts of the scans from their site turn out somewhat smaller than the originals.
Thanks Dan, I'm a (Philadelphia) Eagles fan, and Jalen and Saquon say we don't do offense anymore, so none taken! I'm 11 years older than you, which music-industry-wise is a lifetime (Woodstock vs. MTV), with music probably holding a very different meaning to my youth than it did to yours. My earliest jazz listening (1972, first semester of college) was John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Blue Note.
tracks #1 and #4 - I was there.
track #2 - the pianist is a favorite of mine.
track #8 - Not Hutch or Land, not written by Cedar, or Hutch. But a well known tune (though not in this version).
Thanks as always for your good-natured feedback - I even read it to my wife! And I'm sure many will breathe a sigh of relief (and some will re-engage in the BFT process) when you're up in January.
