  1. Just for the record two songs that Jim plays on this LP,"New Orleans" and "Hurry On Down" appear on "Teresa Brewer - 16 Most Requested Songs" on Columbia/Legacy.Bob Thiele was married to Teresa.

  2. Thanks! I was trying to figure out which tracks Jim played on with Teresa Brewer.

  3. Personnel leaves off the critical Oliver Nelson, who wrote, arranged and conducted tracks #1 (a remake of his earlier "Trane Whistle"), 6 and 7, as well as arranging and conducting for track 4.

    One of only 3 albums where Nelson dabbled in funk the year he died - the other 2 are his own Skull Session and Groove Holmes' "Theme From Six Million Dollar Man" and Other Selections.

  4. Thanks Joe, but I really only have put in the musician credits...Oliver unfortunately didn't play on that record. Also, Gordon is on BOTH of those other Nelson records!
