The record
Farmer's trumpet next to Sonny Rollins on tenor, with Horace Silver, Percy Heath, and Kenny Clarke behind them -- a quintet where every chair carries weight. Prestige gave it a ten-inch, PRLP 177, in 1954: four titles, 'Wisteria', 'Soft Shoe', 'Confab In Tempo', and 'I'll Take Romance'. The ten-inch format is a small container for a lineup like that.
