Hello Eric,
>  Pete Kelly's Blues is a 1955 soundtrack album by Peggy Lee
> featuring tracks by her and Ella Fitzgerald, as well as several jazz
> instrumentals.'

How many of the numbers featured are instrumentals?  I loved the film
and most of the music and I was quite excited to see a soundtrack
album.  My excitement turned into disappointment when I discovered tha
entire album was vocal.  Of course, that was many years after I had
seen the film, so I probably did not remember it featured so many
vocals.  Somehow, whenever I hear "Bye, Bye Blackbird," in my head I
hear it at the slow tempo featured in the film.

BTW, that was my introduction to Dick Cathart.

Best regards,
Marek
