Coltrane and Billy Strayhorn!?

[medjuck]

Was going through the Trane discography  and came across:

 

Jam Session At The Plaza Hotel

Lee Morgan (trumpet) John Coltrane (tenor sax) Billy Strayhorn (piano) Sam Jones, Jimmy Woode (bass) Philly Joe Jones (drums)

"Edwardian Room", The Plaza Hotel, NYC, September 9, 1958

	Lullaby Of Birdland	Columbia unissued
	Unknown Ballad   Has anyone ever heard this?  The same night as the Miles Davis Sextette recordings.

I have seen that listed as well. At one point I asked Michael Cuscuna if he would consider a box set of the Plaza recordings that night, I figured it would be an amazing opportunity to document all the artists on the Columbia roster that appeared, I figured there would have to be great photos and even some eyewitness accounts and more music than we got released on a few LPs. He just didn't seem to take to the idea or think it was something Columbia would want to do. It's a shame, might be a real treasure.
