The author used to work in a bookstore (Dutton's) in North Hollywood. I was buying a book about jazz there once and she said "There's a picture of my father in that book." When I asked "who" and she replied "Joe Albany", I of course said "You mean The Legendary Joe Albany". BTW LA Times review by Caroline See is very weird. it refers to a Bird/Aalbany record that doesn't exist. When someone wrote a letter to the editor pointing this out See just reiterated her claim.

The original "Stella" on Jazztrack was a combination of takes 3 & 7 and that's what's in the box set. Miles '58 has take 7 complete. I think Miles '58 is now out of print but I still see unopened copies in stores as well as lots of used ones. (Eric, if you can't find it anywhere I'll send you one.) Like the Teo Macero version of "Miles Ahead" I guess this is going to become a rarity.
