Al Cohn's Recorded Solos of the Stars

I picked up this little gem at a library sale recently. The copyright date is 1956. There are 7 songs, and they are from 2 albums by Al Cohn: "The Natural Seven" and "The Brothers".

Here is the list of songs:

The Walrus Cap Snapper Baby Please A. C. Meets Osie Jack's Kinda Swing Count Me In The Natural Thing To Do

It looks like what we get is the head to each song, then a couple of transcribed solos by Al Cohn, Joe Newman, Frank Rehack, etc. Unfortunately, the cd's seem to be out of print and I don't have any of the recordings, so I can't vouch for accuracy.

Overtime

Cripes! I didn't know I had this one.

Pete Rugolo's "Overtime" is a screaming be-bop number recorded by the Metronome All Star Band in 1949.

This piano arrangement was transcribed by Pete Rugolo himself, and includes condensed versions of solos by Charlie Parker, Buddy DeFranco, Lennie Tristano and others.

Wow! I need to go through my sheet music more often.
