Note: The one Milt Jackson session and six Thelonious Monk sessions, which were originally issued in part and is scrambled from on BLP 1509, 1510 and 1511. For the Compact Disc editions of these albums, the sessions have been put into their complete forms in recording order. Therefore none of these CDs conform with the original albums and they do have a great deal of additional material.
