The record

Three takes of 'Un Poco Loco' land in a row here, which is reason enough to own it -- you hear the piece being assembled. The credits carry two bassists, Curly Russell and Tommy Potter, and two drummers, Max Roach and Roy Haynes, plus Fats Navarro's trumpet and Sonny Rollins's tenor around Bud Powell's piano. Blue Note BLP 1503, 1955, produced by Alfred Lion, annotated by Leonard Feather.
