Notes:
John Williams enjoyed a long-standing personal and professional friendship with tenor Wilfred Brown. They performed together many times until Brown's untimely death from a brain tumour in 1971. This is the first recording they made together (another was to come in 1969). This album had a short-lived CD release in 1998 on the Belart label.
My thanks to Robert Jorgensen for informing me of this album's existence back in 1998. By a strange quirk of fate, within a few days, I happened to discover on a chance visit to my then-local record shop that it was about to be released on CD! And within a week of that, a copy of the LP in mint condition turned up at Music and Video Exchange, my favourite second-hand record shop.
