Remark :

This compilation include 2 tracks from a Belgian radio session which will be completely released on Stella By Starlight CD one year later. Always some mistake about the personnel and recordings informations :
_ the booklet gives Giani Cazzola on drums, Clauco Masetti on sax but it's wrong (see personnel above)
_ It's probably not recorded in Rome, 1964 but in BRT studios, Brussels
