The record

Listed as a compilation, and the credits show it: two bassists in Charles Mingus and Curtis Counce, two drummers in Shelly Manne and Jerry Segal, two tenors in Jimmy Giuffre and J.R. Monterose, all around Teddy Charles's vibraphone and Shorty Rogers's trumpet. 'Speak Low' and 'I Can't Get Started' sit beside knottier stuff like 'Relaxo Abstracto'. Prestige LP 7078, 1957, notes by Ira Gitler.
