Regarding: >a really great recording set  originally put out about 1952 on
the long since defunct Urania label, now remastered on CD.<

Dear LRG,
I had forgotten about that LP.
I have the Musidisc LP version and it now on the turntable for old times'
sake.
Great stuff, even for a 'mouldie' like me.
They don't play stuff like this nowadays, notwithstanding good intentions.
(Duck Bill!) 
I certainly go along with your friend's comment "BTW,  that CD has the BEST
jam version of "Lover" I have every heard.  It is 12 minutes long and there
is lots of solo room for everyone.  T takes about  three different
choruses."  

Here, for those who may be interested, are the session details.

Jack Teagarden and His Orchestra
Ruby Braff, t; Jack Teagarden, tb,vcl; Sol Yaged, cl; Lucky Thompson, ts;

    Lover

It is currently available [minus "The Christmas Song"] on Fresh Sounds CD
1607 'Accent on Trombone'.
Worlds Records have it in stock at US$16.00.
Which is a bit expensive for only 43 minutes of music!
Kind regards,
Bill.
