Here's another episode from Jazz Crossroads Of America, the NEA-grant series that Night Lights did on the history of Indiana jazz.

Johnson, Freddie Hubbard, Wes Montgomery, and David Baker:

Thanks for posting!

Is that demo of the Montgomery Bros. playing "Love For Sale" on any records or CDs?

It's on a Columbia LP called Almost Forgotten. Evidently part of a longer recording session, but I'm not sure the rest of it has surfaced anywhere.

The rest of the session can be heard on the LP, Completely Forgotten.
