Dear Ken,
Recorded in New York, 25 November 1958 and issued on Columbia CL1320  
plus your Philips LP.
	Sunday
	Swingin' Along On Broadway
	Night Train
	Buckini
	Moonglow
	Swingin' At The Copper Rail
	Mean To Me
	Outer Drive
The good news is that it is on the Mosaic 8-CD set 'The Columbia Small  
Group Swing Sessions 1953-1962', released in 2004.
The bad news is that it has only recently sold out and no longer  
available from Mosaic.
Very kind regards,
Bill (busy deliberately lurking at the moment).
