On a TV series called "The Making of Great LPs" or similar, they did a program on Apostrophe and explained that the band was required to read the music as Frank had written it - no improvisation thank you - Frank was a composer. And then they showed the band recording, with apparent ease, one of the tracks with its harmonically innovative melody line, stops and starts and tempo changes and I was reminded of the amazing skills of truly pro musicians like Ruth.
