Thanks to alumnus Pauline Dalton, we now know much more about this little album. She writes that it was recorded around 1953. The "Sleigh Bells" was written by music teacher Teo Macero. He achieved great fame as a producer for Columbia Records.Teo Macero (born Attilio Joseph Macero on October 30, 1925) is an American jazz saxophonist, composer, and record producer. He was a producer at Columbia Records for twenty years, and most notably produced the Miles Davis album, Kind of Blue, which at #12, is the highest-ranked jazz album on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and according to the RIAA, is the best-selling jazz album of all time. Macero also produced Davis' Bitches Brew, and Dave Brubeck's Time Out, which, along with Kind of Blue, are three of the best-known and most influential jazz albums of all time.
