From Billboard - April 28, 1958: Collection consists of jazz interpretations of the four seasons. Side one finds Dick Hyman and some virile performances on "Early Autumn," "Summer Sequence," etc., with rhythm help from Don Lamond and Eddie Safranski. Folio side is devoted to "Winter Sequence," a suite is eight parts, one for each of Santa's reindeer. Imaginative jazz tone poems done for an 11-man group, which features French horn, flute, piccolo and cello among a group of more conventional instruments. Interesting sounds will played, tho the cover doesn't do much for the set.
Huh, never seen this. That Winter Sequence side is tough to find on it's 10" release.
