The record
Frank Foster's tenor works against Benny Powell's trombone here, with Gildo Mahones at the piano and Percy Heath and Kenny Clarke light-footed underneath. A Blue Note ten-inch from 1954, BLP 5043, cut by Rudy Van Gelder, with a Leonard Feather liner and a Francis Wolff photograph on John Hermansader's cover. 'Out Of Nowhere' is the one broadly familiar tune among the six.
