• Costa, Don-Echoing Voices and Trombones- LP- stereo-United Artists WWS 8501 - (Approx.) 1963 33 1/3 RPM LP release by producer/arranger Don Costa. LP at hand was clearly made to feed the early 60's demand for records to showcase the new stereo sound, and does the job well.

Allstar session players include Terry Snyder, Bucky Pizzarelli, Al Caiola & Urbie Green. Tracks are all standards, like "Deed I Do", "Thou Swell" & "Day In Day Out".
