The record

One performance split across both faces of a 78 -- 'Bluing' Parts 1 and 2 -- with Jackie McLean's alto and Sonny Rollins' tenor alongside Davis, and Walter Bishop, Jr., Tommy Potter and Art Blakey behind them. Prestige put it out in 1953 as a promotional shellac pressing, catalog 846. Three horns like that on ten inches of shellac is worth chasing.
