The record

A compilation with three drummers in the credits -- Art Blakey, Kenny Clarke and Teddy Stewart -- which is the tell that the tracks come from several dates. James Moody's tenor leads bands holding Ernie Henry, Cecil Payne, Jimmy Cleveland and Oscar Pettiford. Blue Note put it together in 1969 with notes by Pete Welding; 'Cu-Ba' and 'The Fuller Bop Man' are among the titles.
