I'd say not a chance, since it charted in September 1961, but there are always 
those African and Patagonian 78s to surprise us.

I have a lot of Fantasy 78s, many pre-Desmond. Brubeck and Desmond figure 
prominently in the soundtrack to "Next Stop, Greenwich Village" but all the 
cuts are from a later period and the movie takes place in 1953.

Brubeck was one day short of 92.
