Actually, Sandy, the year was more like 1951 or '52...I remember being in London, beginning my Fulbright year (l952), and getting a statement from Jac Holzman of Elektra- my first statement ever- saying with great enthusiasm that the record had come out and had sold over one hundred!!! Such wild enthusiasm- I thought that my fortune was made. The reality is that a few more hundred were sold- not really a fortune. Jac and I began the recording in a nearby church basement, as he had no studio, then was finished in the Greenwich Village apartment of Ed Canby over many months. So, work on it was probably begun on it as early as 1949...things moved very slowly in those days, especially as none of us had any extra money for the project. Jean
