When in 1994 I bought a CD copy of Bill Evans' "Symbiosis" (written by
Claus Ogerman, arranger/conductor of Streisand's "Classical Barbra,"
another favorite GG album) it had a sticker:

"...what tremendous impression it has made upon me.  Symbiosis is very
much my kind of music.  I have been listening [to it] almost
obsessively.... [It has] had a particular influence upon me over the
years." - Legendary classical-pianist Glenn Gould

Anybody know, *which* Ahmad Jamal album has the "My foolish heart" that GG
used as background music in "The Quiet in the Land" ?  I've been looking
for that for years, not yet successfully.
