The record

Gene Ammons and Sonny Stitt are the only names the credits carry, set against each other by the title across eight tracks -- 'Blues Up And Down', 'Seven - Eleven', and a 'Stringin' The Jug' long enough to need two parts. A ten-inch Prestige LP from 1951, PRLP 107, with no instruments and no accompanists documented in the listing.
