I have a copy of the first in this series of recordings. Here's the info:

If anyone's interested, it's for sale at $6 plus postage from Portland,
OR. I've also got volume three in the series (The Persuasive Trombone of
Urbie Green, vol. 3), and a half a dozen other Urbie Green LPs for sale at
the same price.

I heard him perform once, when I was a HS teacher in NYC and he came to do
a clinic with the kids in the school band and give a performance in the
evening. I've always admired his playing, but what blew me away was the
apparent ease with which he produced that great music. Made me want to go
home and take a sledge hammer to the old Bach. :-)
