i, j performed as medley.

This was the Count Basie Orchestra with Sarah Vaughan's rhythm section. There is confusion regarding these live performances with some sources claiming certain of the titles were recorded on Dec. 16, 1954 at Birdland. The information shown is based on that given in the 1992 CD reissue. Track h is performed with just the rhythm section. Track i is called "I Ain't Mad At You."

This ensemble was made up, mainly, of members of the Count Basie Orchestra. Three takes of Darn That Dream were also recorded at this session with a small ensemble that did not include Benny Powell. Denis Brown's Sarah Vaughan Discography indicates that the common take of Stardust (track d) is an edit. Mercury (Jpn.) SNP 133 is a one-sided 7-inch, 45 r.p.m. disk.

Some sources indicate that these titles were recorded on October 15, 1958. It has also been suggested that the October date was used for vocal overdubs to tracks recorded earlier. One unissued track (One Hundred Years Ago Today, matrix 13201) was also recorded at this session but only involving Joe Williams and the rhythm section.
