(In fact, if you've ever wondered, this is an empty bluff. Once this record was mailed out -- they were virtually always unsolicited -- to a radio station, it became the property of said radio station to dispose of as it pleased (other than REPRODUCING new copies) In January of 2011, NPR reports, "The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco upheld a lower court's decision that the sale of so-called promo records -- usually advance copies of new releases sent to music critics and radio stations by record labels -- does NOT violate copyright laws.") With a shifting assembly of sidemen available during his 1952 trip to France (Don Byas tenor sax; Wade Legge piano, drummer Bill Clark of Lena Horne's rhythm section, etc.) John Birks Gillespie offers "Sweet Lorraine," "Dizzy's Blues," "I Cover the Waterfront," "Mon Homme," "Fais Gaffe!", "She's Funny That Way," a pseudo-Dixieland "'S Wonderful," etc. This jazz LP now reduced from $35.
