The record

Thad Jones's trumpet against Gigi Gryce's alto and Benny Powell's trombone gives this front line real weight, and the credits carry doubles at three chairs -- Tommy Flanagan and Barry Harris at the piano, Percy Heath and George Duvivier on bass, Elvin Jones and Max Roach on drums. Five tracks on Blue Note 1546 from 1957, Alfred Lion producing, Leonard Feather's notes, a Francis Wolff cover photograph.
