p. 399, discography session 570113 - Although Jepsen's discography indicates January 13, 1957, other discographies (Bruyninckx, Lord, Raben) indicate that these tracks were recorded at the March 13, 1957 session. The Columbia matrix numbers actually suggest a date in early July 1956 which seems unlikely since Donald Byrd and Gigi Gryce had not teamed up at that point to form the Jazz Lab ensemble. Thanks to George Avakian, we have now confirmed that these two nonet titles were, in fact, recorded on March 13, 1957 along with the quintet version of Blue Concept. The matrix numbers CO56457 and CO56458 were originally intended for a Horace Silver recording of July 2, 1956 but were never used for that session and finally assigned out of sequence, at the March 13 Jazz Lab recording.
