The record
Compiled from two sessions -- Rudy Van Gelder's remastering credit says so outright -- with Sonny Rollins and Frank Foster both on tenor and Ray Copeland on trumpet. The credits carry two bassists, Curly Russell and Percy Heath, and two drummers, Art Blakey and Willie Jones. Both takes of 'Think Of One' are here, along with 'Hackensack' and 'Locomotive.' Ira Gitler wrote the notes. Prestige, mono.
