The record

Kenny Clarke on drums, Milt Jackson on vibraphone, John Lewis at the piano and Percy Heath on bass -- a ten-inch from 1953 that puts unfamiliar titles like 'Vendome,' 'The Queen's Fancy' and 'Delaunay's Dilemma' next to 'Autumn In New York' and 'But Not For Me.' Doug Hawkins engineered, Ira Gitler wrote the notes, and David X. Young designed the sleeve. Prestige PRLP 160.
