Here are some frame grabs from the spot. They’ve been severely touched up in photoshop since the video has lost all color and is almost unwatchable except as a silhouette film. I’ve reconstructed the colors as near as I can remember them. At any rate, the purpose of these grabs is for you to see what Tissa has done with John’s layouts.

Thanks to RIchard O’Connor, here is the
poor YouTube version.
The indomitable Billy Taylor wrote and performed the music.
What a great piano! I had the treat of spending a couple of
hours talking with him about his music for the Hubley films.
We talked for about a half hour about this music.

Doubt this is any better quality than the video you have:

This seems like a longshot, but I have to ask. Are any of these layout drawings for sale? I know Michael passed away a few years ago, so I’m not sure who currently possesses them. My friends and I are big fans of Cool Pool Fool and I’m trying to track down any production art I can find from it. Thanks
