Non di tutti i brani è noto con certezza l'autore dell'arrangiamento, che peraltro potrebbe essere un head arrangement, cioè non scritto ma soltanto concordato fra i musicisti.
[The author of the arrangement is not known with certainty of all the pieces, which could be a head arrangement, that is, not written but only agreed between the musicians.]
