This LP was called Mama and was dedicated to Jones's mother, Lillian Jones, who had passed away. If the LP cover looks old, it's because her photo was taken in 1930. The album contains the usual combination of original compositions by Jones and standards and swings a little more but is less beboppish than A Song for Mary. Original tunes are "Shirley," "Mama," and "Eggnog." This LP is not listed in Lord.
The single that appears to be associated with this album ("Egg Nog" b/w "F. A.") is said in some sources to carry the release numbers 1A and 2A, but the matrix numbers are TJ-1A and TJ-1B. (Our thanks to Dan Ferone for information about the single.) We need to compare "Egg Nog" (as it is spelled on the single) and "Eggnog" from the LP to make sure they are the same performance. On the single "Egg Nog" is attributed to Roy Alexander, and the instrumental lineup is the same one that is credited on the LP. The flip on the single, "F. A.," uses a different rhythm section and obviously comes from a different session (we think it's Mad21 from 1961, but this needs further checking).
M- (LP). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage
