Hi Bill. Haven't heard that track, since I don't have room in my Augean
oriface for my "fun" CDs, but I as I recall that the Avid is "stereoized"
using their version of Dick Broady's system. Any comments on the
stereoization? 

Avid has a goodly number of OKOM albums, including a 3-CD Teagarden set, 2
CD sets of Morton, Bechet, Spanier. The first 2 of the 4-CD Glenn Miller
set have his earlier band, which is in the vein of the Dorsey Brothers and
early Shaw sound, which includes tasty jazz touches...

These are excellant compilations, at good prices, and the stereoization IMO
doesn't get in the way. (I haven't made up my mind as to whether and to
what extent it adds, but as I recall it does a good job with the Spanier
big band.)
