The record
An early number in the Blue Note 5000 run, and the credits carry two bassists and two drummers alongside Powell, with Fats Navarro's trumpet and Sonny Rollins's tenor turning up as well. 'Un Poco Loco' on its own justifies the ten-inch; 'Over The Rainbow' is the reason to stay to the end. Cover by Paul Bacon.
