The record
Toots Thielemans on harmonica and Bengt Hallberg doubling piano and harpsichord give this one its odd colors. A various-artists collection carrying Leonard Feather's name in the title -- he wrote the notes as well -- issued as Prestige's 10-inch LP 119 in 1951, with Arne Domnérus on alto, Lars Gullin's baritone, Putte Wickman's clarinet and Rolf Ericson's trumpet. The credits carry two bassists and two pianists.
