The record
J.J. Johnson's trombone and Lucky Thompson's tenor thicken the frontline over Horace Silver's blues-drenched comping, and the title track's long, patient blues form points hard bop toward its next decade.

Pressings
The earliest we list is the 1957 Prestige PRLP 7076 in mono. A 1959 Prestige 7076 repress adds deep groove labels and a laminated sleeve, and a 1964 Prestige 7076 carries an RVG stamp -- so the bare number tells you little and the deadwax tells you everything. Every LP entry here is catalogued as a compilation, which fits a record that collects two separate sessions. For a clean playing copy, OJC-213 has been in print since 1986, and Analogue Productions cut it at 45rpm as AJAZ 7076 in 2003.
