These recordings included Buddy Collette, Chico Hamilton, Teddy Wilson, Stan Getz, Zoot Sims and Lucky Thompson. The box also included a couple of sessions recorded for potential on Castro and Duke's Clover tag, including a Castro Big Band and the Teddy Edwards Tentet. // The second boxed set of recordings from Joe Castro's collection, Passion Flower - For Doris Duke, highlights his collaborations with a vast array of incredible musicians.
