[JPL] 1957 / JAH anniversary celebration

[George Thomas]

Jim,

Congrats on your 50th Year of radio & on the 24th Year of JAH milestones.
I'm just reaching 35 years of radio this fall. The other year that
constantly surprises me is 1961-many classic sides that year too.
Here are some more 1957 recording/release sides to add to the list, all
happened to be on my playlists during the past 30 days:

Sarah Vaughan	Swingin' Easy
Dave Brubeck Quartet   Dave Digs Disney
Gerry Mulligan-Paul Desmond Quartet  Gerry Mulligan-Paul Desmond Quartet
Jimmy Smith  Groovin' At Smalls' Paradise
Jimmy Witherspoon with Jay McShann and his Band  Goin' To Kansas City Blues
Red Garland   Red Garland's Piano
John Coltrane   Traneing In
Sonny Rollins  Way Out West
Dizzy Gillespie  At Newport

Peace & Bright Moments,

George
