Estimated Otaku-san! Where do you dig out these pearls from? I knew the lovely Part 4 before, the precedent of the Early Autumn, but not the rest of this, what came before. Thanks for this piece of jazz history.

Thank you for the comment, Timopartanen2-san!!

I was able to obtain this Woody Herman's CD after great pains in a certain record shop in the suburbs of Tokyo.
