The set includes an essay by Brian Priestley and a complete discography, as well as many rare photographs by Chuck Stewart. But what it mostly contains is a fountain of youthfulness, in an unlikely, illogical, unprecedented and entirely delightful way that could only belong to Quincy Jones.

18643-5 (PB 2042) Happy Faces Merc SR60129

Note: Contrary to many discographies, both takes of "Happy Faces" were done at this session and
Sam Woodyard, not Charlie Persip, is the drummer. The master take of "Moanin'" actually comes from session G.

18717-17 (PB 2115) Birth Of A Band Merc.71456, SR60129

Note: Discographies list Milt Hinton for this session. But Ray Brown confirmed to Jean-Michel Reisser that he was the bassist on both of these selections. Most discographies list a remake of "A Change Of Pace" with the master number 18716 and some even claim this was the issued version. In fact, the issued version comes from session Dand there is no evidence of any kind that this tune was remade here.

(H) Ernie Royal, Jimmy Maxwell, Art Farmer, Lee Morgan, Nick Travis, Lennie Johnson (tp),
Jimmy Cleveland, Frank Rehak, Urbie Green, Billy Byers (tb), Julius Watkins (Frh), Phil Woods, Porter Kilbert (as),

Note: The original album lists Buddy Jones as the bassist, but that is thought to be an error since Buddy Catlett was the regular bassist with the band at this time. Most likely, only four trumpets were used on each session. Beyond the fact that Art Farmer and Lee Morgan are on the first session, we don't know who participated on each day.
