Album US 1961 on Argo label
Jazz (Swing, Cool Jazz, Bop, Free Jazz, Comedy)
"This concert was recorded during actual performance at Grove Hall in Boston, Mass." This is a parody of the J.A.T.P. records. The album was conceived and executed by composer/arranger Sid Ramin. All but the composing credits are made-up names ("Morris Brewbeck" "Morris Garner" "Ornette Morris" "Morris Ferguson" "Can-E-Ball Naturally" "Merry Julligan"). Definitely not a live audience and definitely full of musical and stylistic jokes plus the fake announcer plays with some jazz emcee cliches.
