Annotation

When checking this release's membership in the EPM Jazz Archives series, note that earlier releases show a different title in the No. 16 position of the "previously on this series" list (eg. No. 45 claims that 16 was "West Coast Jazz, Shorty Rogers / Art Pepper / ..."), while later installments confirm this record (eg. No. 80 confirms that 16 is "Jelly Roll Morton, The Best of"). The high catalog number (158012 between otherwise increasing 157262 (15) and 157302 (17)) indicates that this was swapped in between 1992 and 1994.
