Comments by Hank Bagby regarding the tunes:

"DEE DEE"  is my sister-in-law's name, one of the sweetest person's I've ever known!

"THE GREAT WALL"  was written with the thought and feeling of the walls of China.

"SOUL SONNET"  is a lyrical theme, in which the word SONNET applies, and the tune was written especially for the Soultet.

"KISS ME QUIGLEY"  was written for a girl, who is a very good friend of all the fellows
 in the group. Her name is Barbara Quigley!

"IBORIAN"  was written with the feeling of the African country; and the name spelled
 backward, spells "NAIROBI," a town in Kenya!

"ALGERIAN SUITE"  is self explanatory.

Born in Los Angeles, Hank Bagby was originally a singer around Denver in the mid-1940s. He started playing sax in San Francisco in the late 1940s and worked with such musicians as Leo Wright, Kenny Drew, and the late Addison Farmer. In the early 1950s, he worked in Los Angeles with the late Joe Maini, Frank Butler and others. Hank Bagby first started writing seriously while co-leading the Elmo Hope - Hank Bagby Quartet in the late 50's through the early 60's. He worked with the Onzy Mattheus Big Band in 1961, which included such greats as Curtis Amy, Dexter Gurdon, Harold Land, Carmel Jones and the late Joe Gordon, to name a few. In late 1961, along with Joe Maini, Bagby headlined a group in a spectacular Jazz Marathon, opposite some of the greatest talent in the country, namely: Bud Shank, Jack Sheldon, Claude Williamson, Ralph Pena, Ben Webster, Joe Albany, Ruth Price, Bill Perkins, and many others. Hank formed the Soultet in January 1964. (Wikipedia Free Encyclopedia)
