The dual role is right there in the credits: Brookmeyer takes both valve trombone and piano, with Jimmy Raney's guitar as the other lead voice and Teddy Kotick and Mel Lewis underneath. Four tracks on a Prestige ten-inch from 1955, Rudy Van Gelder engineering and cutting the lacquer, Bob Weinstock supervising and shooting the cover, Ira Gitler on the back.
