A up and coming jazz player listened to all the recordings. All have beautiful orchestral arrangements, male and female soloists.

2.) "Your Mine You" plays very well
3.) "Body and Soul" Two recordings one plays through but some distortion, the other begins well and then fails. One of Green's most celebrated classics
4.) "I'm Yours" plays through very well
5.) "The Steam is on the Bean" plays through completely
6.) "I Cover the Waterfront" first 30 seconds plays perfectly then the quality goes downhill. Estimated Value $400 - 800
