Tadd Dameron recorded his "The Magic Touch" album for Riverside Records over three sessions (February 27, March 9 and our session on April 16). Around this time, Tadd was also completing five big band arrangements of his original compositions for Benny Goodman's big band tour to Moscow (U.S.S.R) which took place from May 30-July 6, 1962. Tadd arranged Just Plain Talkin' along with three other compositions from "The Magic Touch" album for Goodman. Unfortunately, no Goodman recording or air check of a performance exists for Tadd's Just Plain Talkin' arrangement, but the arrangement itself does exist and is available from eJazzLines.com. https://jazzleadsheets.com/just-plain-talkin.html
