"I am glad to see the continued interest in Jay and Kai's recordings. The tracks on this collection are some of the greatest jazz ever recorded. However, this collection is NOT complete. It omits the ten tracks from the Columbia album "Jay and Kai", CL 973. The omitted tracks are as follows: You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To / Caribe / Happiness Is A Thing Called Joe / The Song Is You / In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning / Tromboniums in Motion / How High the Moon / Violets for Your Furs / Too Close for Comfort / 'S Wonderful. These tracks were recorded in 1955 and 1956, and should have been included on this collection, as they are quintet tracks (2 trombones, piano, bass, drums), except for a few which have added conga or bongo."
