The record
A front line of J.J. Johnson's trombone, Kenny Dorham's trumpet and Sonny Rollins on tenor, with John Lewis (2), Leonard Gaskin and Max Roach behind them -- that is a lot of record for two sides of a 78. Prestige 806, ten-inch shellac, 1953, billed as J.J. Johnson's Boppers. Grab it if the shellac is playable.
