I have read references to Harry Lookofsky�s Epic EP Miracle in Strings being the first Ampex multitrack overdubbing. He plays three violins and two violas. Bassist Oscar Pettiford also overdubs his cello. There are two dates given for this disc. 18 June 1954, which I believe is the original rhythm track, and 17 January 1955, which I imagine is the final mastering date. Release was February. I would be grateful for any opinion/information about the early status of this overdubbing. (Not to be confused, as it often is, with Lookofsky�s1959 Atlantic Stringsville LP.)
