In the preface, Stevens writes that the original negatives were destroyed in a fire and consequently reproductions were made from "very indifferent prints."

 Thomas Stevens : Philharmonic Standard Time - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Thomas Stevens normally purveys the classics from his longtime perch as principal trumpeter of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, but he has always been a jazzer at heart (the story goes that Zubin Mehta hired him for the Philharmonic because Mehta thought Stevens had a Viennese sound when in fact, he was just doing Miles Davis!).
In any case, Stevens takes a busman's holiday here by performing some standard tunes written by composers (Johnny Green, David Raksin, Bronislaw Kaper, Henry Mancini, Victor Scherzinger, Ferde Grofé) who had some affiliation with the Philharmonic -- usually through pops concerts at the Hollywood Bowl.
Although it is definitely a jazz album, with a fine mainstream rhythm section (pianist Terry Trotter, bassist Tom Warrington, drummer Ralph Penland) backing several tracks and plenty of improvisation, Stevens affects a sustained classical tone quality -- and while he can phrase like a jazzman, he chooses not to swing much.

The issue of end-of-line hyphenation was difficult, as normal sage in the 1880's often hyphenated words which have since been concatenated.
Stevens also used phonetic spelling and italics for much of the unfamiliar language or dialects that he heard; a great deal of foreign words and phrases are also included and always italicized.
A word which might seem mis-spelled, such as 'yaort', was originally in italics and was the 1886 spelling of 'yogurt'.
