The record

A Moodsville various-artists set built entirely from Gershwin -- 'A Foggy Day', a Porgy & Bess medley, 'Someone To Watch Over Me' -- with not one performer documented in the credits, which for a record sold on the promise of America's greatest jazzmen is a real gap. Dan Morgenstern wrote the notes and Don Schlitten produced. MV 33, mono, 1963.
