The record
Three sides from a night at Birdland, and the front line is the reason to reach for it -- Clifford Brown's trumpet against Lou Donaldson's alto, Horace Silver comping hard, Curly Russell and Blakey underneath. A Blue Note ten-inch with a John Hermansader cover, Francis Wolff photographs and Leonard Feather on the back. Short and hot.
