I can't find the damn thing and can't remember the title -- I DO remember it is interesting. Talking about jazz obscurities, I picked up a Czech (Supraphon) LP by J. Stivin & Co Jazz System, "Five Hits in a Row". Dating back from 1973, it's a great piece!

This record is incredible. Definitely a must have.
