’Friends’ include, George Benson, Al Jarreau, Bobby McFerrin, Manhattan Transfer, Wynton Marsalis, Stanley Turrentine, Jimmy Cobb, Al Grey, Tommy Flanagan and others. Excellent Booklet. Gives details on each song and lists who ’sings’ who.

For instance, Judith Hendricks ’sings’ the Louis Armstrong solos on STARDUST.
