Awesome work Sam - I'm a big fan of Barney in this era - especially the trio stuff with Shelley Manne and Ray Browne- this is a great record and several Jazzers here have mentioned= the significance of this recording.

Julie London's "Cry Me A River" was a big hit in the UK. I am not surprised that George Harrison learnt it, everybody did, it made a big impression on the players -

It made such a big impression, the opening phrase of the song has become one of the most famous jazz licks ever - I think Jerry Coker has published an in depth study of that lick , its 'etymology', and application..in fact it has a chapter to itself in his book - Elements of the Jazz Language for the developing improviser"
