He also recorded and sang it on a CD under his name. I'm stuck for the title of the CD, but I think it is 'Jazz Stars' or West Coast Jazz Stars, something like that.

He did the album in the late 1950s in conjunction with his short lived TV program from LA.

But I agree the Nance version on Neport 56 is great, and the best version I've heard.
