The record

Two drummers in the credits, Kenny Clarke and Connie Kay, which together with the compilation tag tells you what this is. Prestige gathered it in 1966 as PR 7425, Don Schlitten producing the reissue. John Lewis is credited as writer as well as pianist; Milt Jackson's vibraharp sits against Percy Heath's bass. 'Django' and 'Concorde' are here, and Martin Williams wrote the notes.
