Well, Otter, my late Father was the real hardcore jazz/classical fan... so don't ask me to go into too much detail on jazz or classical.

However, if you want the dirt on 50s and 60s stand up comedy & TV Series albums... fire away. If it came out in those days, I probably had it or at least listen to it--

You’ve already posted a Steve Allen cover. He was the genius who founded the Tonight Show that was performed live with little or no rehearsal. Steve and his crew ad libed that masterpiece of late night entertainment. I remember him often calling someone from the audience to come on stage to strike three piano keys at random which Steve would instantly make a cord out of and compose a song. Ernie Kovacs followed him and later Jack Parr, Johnny Carson, etc.

You also posted a Stan Freberg cover. My dad thought he and Spike Jones were hilarious. Me, not so much.
