Any good? Swings throughout. Recording quality what you would expect from a club date in 1959.

It's not Dexter? Who's LTD or what does it stand for? Long Tall Dexter is my guess.

Bill - you're obviously a big fan. I am currently reading "Tinker Tailor" on the recommendation of my wife. I am bored with it - none of it makes sense to me. What am I doing wrong? The plot is very complex. Switch to The Looking Glass War, a high quality Le Carré with a less convoluted plot.

There are so many! I've noticed musicians recording a composition under different names at different sessions. I think Johnny Griffin's "Purple Shades" is an example, but I'm too lazy to seek out the other version(s). Then there are tunes/riffs which seem to be common property - Hawkins's "Stuffy" and Monk's "Hackensack" are examples IIRC. Stitt's "The Eternal Triangle" has quite a lineage, too.
