The record
Piano trio at 78 length -- Billy Taylor with Earl May on bass and Charlie Smith (2) on drums, two sides issued by Prestige on shellac as 895 in 1954. The titles set the terms: 'Cool And Caressing' on one side, 'Bird Watcher' on the other. Nothing more is documented, which for a ten-inch single is about right.
