My discography (published 1957) agrees with Bill Haesler except for the Columbia issue. This is listed as Columbia CL641,but this is probably an earlier LP, whereas Bill's is probably a later LP. The matrix numbers for the July 2 session are W30827-W30830 (Rockin' Chair is the last one) whereas the August 18 session has matrix numbers C3964-C3967 and none of these are Rockin' Chair.

There is also a later recording for Verve recorded in New York City in the Spring of 1956 also with Roy Eldridge on trumpet (and vocal?). Both Eldridge and Anita O'Day are listed as vocalists for the Verve LP (Verve MGV2008), but not listed per track.

Cheers
