The particular one I had trouble with was "Songs for Swingers" by a small jazz group led by Buck Clayton. A Columbia recording from the late fifties. For a long time it was not released on CD, but you can now get it in a Mosaic collection called "Columbia Small Group Swing Sessions 1953-62". Not cheap. Regards -- Don Cox [log in to unmask]
