The record

The credits put Art Farmer, Donald Byrd and Idrees Sulieman all on trumpet, which is the whole reason to pick this one up: three distinct approaches to the same horn trading across five tunes. Hod O'Brien is at the piano, Addison Farmer on bass, Ed Thigpen on drums. Prestige PRLP 7092 from 1957, with Ira Gitler on the back.

Pressings

The earliest pressing on file is the 1957 US Prestige mono PRLP 7092, and it is the only original-era copy we list. After that the data is thin: an undated US mono reissue as PR-7092, a 2015 European Prestige repress numbered simply 7092, and a 2024 European issue on Honey Pie Records. Those last two are catalog-filler pressings rather than considered reissues, so the 1957 mono is the target.
