The record
A shellac 78 rather than an LP -- two sides, Prestige 924, 1952. King Pleasure sings, and nearly everyone else is marked uncredited: Blossom Dearie's vocal, Cecil Payne on baritone, Lem Davis on alto, Ray Abrams on tenor, Merril Stepter's trumpet, all under the Teacho Wiltshire Orchestra billing. Worth chasing down for 'Moody Mood For Love' alone.
