In addition, are excerpts from a recital of jazz-influenced works, along with what may be Copland's last public performance as a pianist. Extensive liner notes by Jacobs analyze the music with rare photos of the creators of "Petrushka" (Nijinsky, Karsavina, etc., with Stravinsky and Tcherepnine at the piano)."
