Bert played with Mingus which made me seek out a Mingus disc, and chose this one for the great band with Charles McPherson and Bobby Jones.

Great stereo sound!
I’m listening to Eddie Bert “Musician of the Year.” The sort of “house trio” of Hank Jones, Wendall Marshall and Kenny Clarke is always great support. As the cover subtly suggests, there is overdubbing of additional Bert trombone on tracks, which was a novel thing in 1955 (the title comes from the fact that Bert was so awarded by Metronome magazine that year).

My sentiments exactly. Film composers are frequently required to also write (or provide) "source music for exactly a purpose such as this- radio music, phonogrpwh records, jukebox music, etc.
Not sure how often a film production company of that time would want to pay to license an existing record for a few seconds of ambient background music when they're already paying a guy who could come up with something as perfect for the function as this.
