Dear Bob,
TAZ = James Turner, Norvin Armstrong and Ted Ziedses de Plantes.
I also have their 'Stealin Apples' LP.
I couldn't find any reference to an Ellington music LP from 1976, but 
do have an 'Echoes of Ellington' CD on Star Line SLCD-9003 taken from 
the Sounds Great SG 5001 LP recorded in LA (no date on the CD).
This was produced by Wayne Knight in about 1984 and recorded by Cecil 
Spiller using a Stahnke Reproducing Piano, so is probably not the one 
by the TAZ team, which I can't locate.
Kind regards,
Bill.
