What first attracted the jazzman to this particular album was a track called "Newport Flipper". It's great. The entire album is great. If you can find it somewhere grab it.

Anyhow, it turns out that a friend of the jazzman's who lives in Germany, an author by the name of Katja Henkel, has a father that is personal friends with Peter and after hearing about my seach for this album he went to Peter and got an autographed copy for the jazzman. How's that for nice?

Peter, Katja and Katja's Father, I thank you. Peter, your band swings.
