The record

Fourteen titles gathered by Prestige into one compilation, with Bernard Peiffer and Billy Taylor splitting the piano credits and Jean Bouchety and Ted Sturgis the bass. Tyree Glenn is on trombone, Bill Coleman and Peanuts Holland on trumpets, and Byas's tenor runs from 'Body And Soul' through blues like 'Peanut Butter Blues.' The sessions vary across it, which is the nature of the format. PR 7598, 1968.
