Where can I find Dick Hymans "Themes and Variations On A Child is Born?"?

I have searched high and low and for the life of me cannot find a trace of Dick Hymans 1977 release on Chiaroscuro records where he allegedly plays Thad Jones tune "A Child is Born" in the styles of 12 different pianists including himself. This is one of my favorite jazz tunes and to know this exists and not hear it is agonizing. If anyone has had better luck than I, I could care less how much the album costs if I can get pointed in the right direction. Thanks!

This is a unique and rather successful project. Pianist Dick Hyman, who has long had the ability to play credibly in any jazz style (although he tends to stick to prebop), performs Thad Jones' classic ballad "A Child Is Born" in the style of a dozen different pianists, including himself. Hyman infuses his interpretations with occasional humorous song quotes and does a superb job of emulating Scott Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton, James P. Johnson, Earl Hines, Fats Waller, Teddy Wilson, Erroll Garner, George Shearing, Cecil Taylor, Art Tatum and Bill Evans before launching into a 17½ minute version in his own style. The results are utterly fascinating, making one wish that the pianist had also chosen Albert Ammons, Bud Powell and McCoy Tyner. Unfortunately this LP has yet to be reissued but it is certainly a unique gem. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Take Five
By David Brubeck Quartet

Won't you stop and take
A little time out with me
Just take five
Stop your busy day
And take the time out
To see if I'm alive

Though I'm going out of my way
Just so I can pass by each day
Not a single word do we say
It's a pantomime and not a play

Still, I know our eyes often meet
I feel tingles down to my feet
When you smile, that's much too discreet
Sends me on my way

Wouldn't it be better
Not to be so polite
You could offer a light
Start a little conversation now
It's alright, just take five
Just take five

I just spent an hour looking up the original and correct version of this song for you ... I really hope it has helped you!

any more questions?

Piano-Love Story - Francis Lai (Arrangement by Henry Mancini)?

Hi!
I'm a piano player, and I really love this song. But the only ones I've found are the Richard Clayderman arrangement, and the original Francis Lai music sheet.
I'm looking for free music sheet, since I don't have a credit card.
(I'm not looking for the music sheet with lyrics in it, I'm looking for the full piano arrangement by Henry Mancini)
P.D. I'm not looking for the Romeo and Juliet love story music sheet either.
Thanks in advance!!

If you could mail it, i'd be grateful!

WHOO!! I found it after hours of searching for myself, so I thought i'd be kind enough to share it with you:

Anyone else think Jimmy and Jey Uso will win the Tag Titles next week?

I think The Usos will beat The Hart Dynasty next week because Tyson Kidd and David Hart Smith have held onto the Unified Tag Team Championships for a while now,

Who else thinks the Usos will win at Money In The Bank PPV next week?

- WWE Money in the Bank -

- WWE Unified Tag Team Championship Match -
The Uso's (w/Tamina) defeated The Hart Dynasty (w/Natalya)

- 100% Agree -
