The record

Four tracks across a whole LP means everyone gets room, and the horns take it -- Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis's tenor and J.C. Higginbotham's trombone trading with Tiny Grimes's guitar over Ray Bryant, Wendell Marshall and Osie Johnson. 'Airmail Special' is where the tempo finally jumps. Prestige mono, 1958, PRLP 7144.
