The record
Two distinct guitar voices trade ideas across this 1957 session, Burrell's bluesy warmth set against Raney's cool, linear precision, with McLean and Byrd sharpening the front line. A Prestige-era date that catches guitar jazz at a fertile crossroads of hard bop grit and West Coast lyricism.

Pressings
The earliest copy we list is the 1957 US Prestige mono, PRLP 7119, with an RVG stamp, and that is the one to chase. Japan reissued it in 1975 as LPJ-70046 in both stock and promo form, and a later Japanese promo carries LP-70046. France pressed 7119 in 1985. Original Jazz Classics' OJC-216 is the easiest copy to find and the sane starting point if the Prestige is out of reach.
