Must have been the same guy who asked BBC Jazz Record Requests for records by The Lonliest Monk and Fat Swallow! In my youth jazz friends of mine were intrigued when a waitress listed her record collection of current pops and included a Sonny Rollins. "What's the Sonny Rollins?" they asked. "Oh, you know," she answered,"it's one of those cowboy records." Yes, you've got it!
Maybe she was thinking about Way Out West.
Indeed she was and it sat cosily amongst her Cliff Richards, etc.
