This alphabetized Index contains every cover scan I have yet found or made,
including many I've left out of the main Gallery because of space reasons.

Yes, J.J. appears on all of these albums (note that a number of them are compilations, meaning the material is probably reissued from other albums, or only includes one track of J.J., reissued or not.
On most of these albums, he plays trombone, but on a few he was only composer/arranger. These are indicated with a star (*).
