I'm also confused..Mart's book refers to recording sessions and the songs 
recorded at them, within the chapters, but doesn't contain a discography. Jack 
Litchfield's "Canadian Jazz Discography" lists those Kenney records of jazz 
interest but otherwise refers you to Ross Brethour's bio-discography (and I've 
left a message with the fellow who acquired all Ross's stuff because I thought 
he had a few copies of the Kenney book for sale at the last Musical 
Collectables Show).

Mart's been of interest to me for years..I first met him and Norma Locke in 
1952 and he remembered me when we reconnected in 1967.
