The record
Both sides hold a single performance split into Parts 1 and 2, with James Moody credited on tenor and alto and Dave Burns on trumpet over Jimmy Boyd (2), John Lathan and Clarence Johnston. Prestige 899, pressed in 1954 as a 10-inch shellac promo. The split means the band has to build the thing twice.
