Hi Tim,

I have an LP collection called "Big Band Jazz: from the beginnings to the
fifties", issued by the Smithsonian Collection of Recordings, R 03030 DMM
6-0610. It includes a booklet by Gunther Schuller and Martin Williams. Is
this the collection you're referring to? Let me know. Perhaps I could have
the booklet photo-copied. It's 52 pages long, with a lot of photos.

John.
