The record
Harp and flute out front -- Ashby's Detroit-honed pluck alongside Frank Wess on a 1958 Prestige session that makes bebop feel weightless.
Contemporary reception
No period review located yet. The vintage-press pipeline searches DownBeat, Cash Box, and Billboard for this session.
Pressings
The earliest pressing on file here is the 1958 US Prestige, 7140, in mono. No deep groove or stamper detail is recorded for it, so judge a copy on the label and the dead wax in hand rather than on a listing. The only reissue worth naming is Japan's 1994 WWLJ-7088, also mono; an undated US repress exists as a test pressing. The field for this one is thin either way.
