Wally Heider's "Transcography" lists 53 Thesaurus transcriptions by the 
group, with a, presumably, collective personnel of "Brad Gowans, Bobby 
Hackett, Terry Snyder, Buddy Weed, Paul Ricci, etc.". Presumably Snyder 
plays vibes. Additionally, Patti Dugan is the vocalist on some. Art Van 
Damme is guest on a couple, the Swingtones on one.
