The record
Organ and congas under a tenor saxophone makes for a texture worth the search -- Jordin Fordin at the organ, Mike Gordon (3) on congas, Clarence Johnson (8) on bass, Joe Holiday out front. The band is billed as a sextet, though only four names carry credits. Prestige issued the coupling on shellac in 1952, catalog 786, 'Serenata' opposite 'Cuban Nightingale (Sun Sun Ba Bae)'.
