Glad you like the recording... It's a very recent release so it may take a week or so to become widely available. The CD is released through Disney Pearl Series (8713404). Good luck with the hunt...

Some great tracks and artists on this LP. Curious choice of version for "Someday My Prince Will Come" - introduced to jazz by Brubeck but made famous by Bill Evans! Still anything by Dave Brubeck is wonderful. Patrick
