The record
Max Roach on a piano trio date is reason enough -- he and Curly Russell push George Wallington through seven short pieces on a ten-inch Prestige, PRLP 158 from 1953. The titles lean to wordplay, 'Squeezer's Breezer' and 'Cuckoo Around The Clock' among them, with 'I Married An Angel' the one familiar song title in the set. Bill Coss supplied the notes.
