Comments:
Strictly speaking, this is not a New York Pro Musica recording directed by Noah Greenberg, but rather a recording by close Noah Greenberg's friends. So this explains why the name of its director doesn't appear on the original Esoteric release.
Information from Donald Rice, (Counterpoint/Esoteric), owned LPs (Esoteric & Everest) and James Gollin (from his book "Pied Piper, the many lives of Noah Greenberg", Pendragon, 2001).
