To correct my possible misstatement (you learn something new everyday):

What I called a 'cello' was called a 'baby bass' in the program. It
was tuned differently than an orchestral cello, the difference was
substantial. But the liner notes for the "Jazz Family" CD that Bob
Davenport mentioned includes a "jazz cello", and so I don't know how
precise the language in the program and liner notes are.

"Marchin' On!" (1975), with a earlier pianist named Stanley Cowell and
some flute, includes an unnamed African double reed instrument and a
"mbira" (thumb piano). Unusual instruments are always fun to hear.

A 1980 title (www.oldies.com) "Heath Brothers" was on sale in the lobby,
and so I suppose it's still in print.

I haven't listened to any of these yet.
