@ Julian - I think Norman Granz could get the dubious distinction of 
being able to record great musicians badly - only to, on the next 
session have a great record (sometimes even with a similar group). Agree 
on that Diz and Roy LP (boring session - was there no or too much booze 
at hand*??). You are right "Sunday" is Buddy Tate and His Buddies - nice 
Jacquet on that LP (I like Jacquet quite a bit when he does not squeal - 
"The Message" LP on Argo Illinois is in great form ....

According to Anita O'Day, Granz's "supervision" consisted of sitting in 
the control room, reading a newspaper!
