- I use the main artist credited in the record, cutting off “…and His Orchestra” for brevity. I include other credited artists when relevant. [return]
- I move from label catalogue numbers to album names once full albums start getting produced in the mid-50s. I use the session year instead of the release year when relevant. I’ve also attempted to find streaming links where possible, but YMMV on region blocking and audio quality. [return]
- Used for the jam [return]
- Used for the Shim Sham [return]
