Ornithology / How High The Moon from Benny Golson's The Complete Triple Play Stereo Sessions

Recorded in the early days of stereo experimentation, the album was first issued as "Triple Play Stereo: Pop + Jazz = Swing", featuring the jazz group on the right channel, and a pop group playing the same song or a related tune on the left channel; presenting Benny Golson´s arrangements of well known standards performed by an all-star group including Bill Evans, Eric Dolphy, Wayne Shorter & Freddie Hubbard.

The album "Just Jazz!", was released later, removing the pop band.

On the CD release both albums are presented in their entirety, "Triple Play Stereo: Pop + Jazz = Swing" appearing on CD for the first time ever. Jazzbeat 543.
