Here's an interesting artifact of the Cold War* - a recording of a jazz ensemble that traveled to Moscow in 1962 on a "Jazz Mission" arranged (in two senses of the word) by Al Cohn.

Players on this disc include Zoot Sims, Phil Woods, Jerry Dodgion, Gene Allen, Jimmy Maxwell Markie Markowitz, Willie Dennis, Eddie Costa, Bill Crow, and Mel Lewis.
