Great point. And strangely they stick that fabulous "Skylark" solo bonus track right in the middle of the CD at the 4 slot. The rest of the bonus tracks are more appropriately added at the end.

I'm a little concerned Bill is going to get hit by a car.

Was going to listen to this, but then I saw the album title. 😎

Doesn't change the fact that putting the names of the artists on the cover along with "Etc." for one guy is bizarre.

Fwiw, Google tells me his Impulse contract said his name couldn't appear on the front of albums for other labels, but it could appear in credits. I dunno.

It occurs to me that this is one of my all time favorite clarinet albums. And I love clarinet. 🏝💿

I'm rolling with the one and only Art Tatum on this 🎂 of so many great jazz legends. I once listened to Tatum regularly, but he can be exhausting. This, this 👇 is one of my very favs. 1956. The way AT and BD get after each other on some of these. 😙🤌

Excellent! Yes, a couple of these are absolutely on the Halloween Jazz playlist.

And this isn't the only Blue Note cover where "Etc." = McCoy Tyner.

Also a Ghost Town on that album. 👻 Spooky.
