Garry Moore picked many of NYC's finest for his Jazz LP. (I have it 
somewhere safely stored away).  He recorded Wild Bill Davidson with strings 
on two tracks, if memory serves me correctly.  I believe this lead to WBD's 
with strings LP being done.  Garrison Morfit (his real name-but likely 
misspelled) indeed loved OKOM.  Dick B
