Credits differ in the liner notes with several tracks, so the liner note credit is listed in place of the erroneous composer(s) listed beneath a song. Inexplicably Count Basie is not credited with writing One O'Clock Jump.

Several arrangers are listed but not attributed to any songs, while the ELS abbreviation for track 13 in unexplained.
