Jazz for a Literary Mind (1999)

About this title: Jazz For A Literary Mind collects clever, classic jazz songs like Red Rodney's "Crazeology," Carla Lother's "Ephemera" and Livingston Taylor's "If I Only Had A Brain." The John Basile Quartet's "Take Five" and other vocal and intstrumental jazz pieces make this collection a refined, intellectually stimulating treat. Heather Phares, All Music Guide
