The record
Gigi Gryce's alto and Idrees Sulieman's trumpet make a lean, slightly acidic front line, and Mal Waldron's piano sits underneath them without ever crowding. Julian Euell and Arthur Edgehill hold the floor. 'Transfiguration,' 'Bud Study' and 'Shome' turn up next to 'Stablemates' and 'Yesterdays.' Prestige PRLP 7090 from 1957, cover by Reid Miles, notes by Ira Gitler.

Pressings
The earliest we list is the 1957 US Prestige mono, PRLP 7090. Everything after it is a reissue -- Japan in 1966 as SMJ-7430, again in 1974 as LPR-88022 and in 1976 as SMJ-6509(M). The 1991 US Original Jazz Classics, OJC-611, is the easiest honest copy to find and is the one logged here with an RVG stamp. Japan also has a 1984 mono, VIJ-227.
