The record

Art Farmer's trumpet leads a horn line with Jimmy Cleveland's trombone, Clifford Solomon's tenor and Oscar Estell's baritone, over Monk Montgomery's bass and Sonny Johnson's drums. One performance runs across both sides as 'Mau Mau' Parts 1 and 2, issued by Prestige as catalog 875 in 1954 on a 10-inch shellac promo -- a big sound squeezed onto a 78.
