Bill and others--
     I have a CD (Collectables COL-5840, Sony #a-284555) made from two 
LP's: "Washington Square" (Epic 9617, 1963) and "More Sounds of 
Washington Square" (Epic 26090, 1964).  The CD-notes say that "Dick 
Brady, Ralph Casals, Don Coates, Frank Hubbel, Mitchell May, Joe 
Muranyi, Al McManus and Lenny Pogan made up the Village Stompers." 
The producer was indeed Joe Sherman.
     Don't know if that's the info you needed, but that's all i have. 
The notes also have info on other LP's.
