Beautiful - just need Soul Symphony and in less than a day, I'll have had a number of questions answered very efficiently. Thanks to all.

The Elegant Soul listing reminds me of another puzzle that I just solved - V. Pea? What kind of name is that?

Known Blue Note compositions -

the two from The Three Sounds: Elegant Soul

Do It Right Now

Elegant Soul

four from Blue Mitchell: Collision In Black

I Ain't Jivin'

Jo Ju Ja

Keep Your Nose Clean

Kick It

and one from Blue Mitchell: Bantu Village

Bush Girl

Frequent collaborator is Dee Ervin. I was thinking that V. Pea (or Vee Pea, as it is expanded in other sources such as the GEMA database) might be reference to VP - a Vice President, maybe of Liberty/Blue Note? Hmmmm.

In fact, it's Virginia P. Bland, according to BMI (where I learned she composed over 100 tunes). This is someone I know nothing else about. If anyone's got more, I'd be curious to know.
