Yes, it's DB on #4. What a sound that guy had. I absolutely love this old side on Savoy. Not sure who the sidemen are, maybe Barry can fill us in on that when the answers are put up.Glad you liked the funnies, those bop fairy tales were written by Steve Allen, and were also put out in book form. I saw the book once a long time ago and now wish I had bought it. The reader here is Al "Jazzbo" Collins, a NYC jazz DJ from years gone by. Brunswick pressed this for Down Beat magazine. I don't know if any others were made. My 78 rpm copy is the only one I've ever seen.
The third track comes from "Stan Freberg Presents The United States of America", a 2-volume set that is now available on CD. These albums are very funny send-ups of early American history, but I think this is the only jazz-related track out of them all.
Follow Ups:
Nobody mentioned KP & AR I believe on #5, did they? That of course is Gene Ammons solo.....On RT.
That's not the girl singer if that's who you mean. I don't know who the others are.

I have a jazz calender hanging by my computer and the March photo is one of Annie Ross and I had been digging it. She looked real good in 1961.

I know that Peck Morrison played bass 'cause I knew Peck and I think a cat named Ed Lewis played trumpet but I don't know or remember who else was on it. I have this and the Gene Ammons recording. Everybody assumes that Gene Ammons wrote this tune but I think Woody Herman was credited with writing it and some other cat also. Anyway, Gene Ammons made it famous with his beautiful tenor solo.Betty Carter knocked people out with her singing on this thing. Nobody really knew her that well.
Betty Carter was going to be my next guess even tho she sounds a bit different here that on my fave "Out There"
