The record

Gil Mellé is credited on both tenor and baritone here, and the company he keeps is the draw -- Urbie Green's trombone and Tal Farlow's guitar make for a dry, woody blend, with Clyde Lombardi and Joe Morello underneath. Six sides on a Blue Note ten-inch, BLP 5033, cover by Jerome Kühl, liner by Barry Ulanov. 'Lover Man' is the lone familiar title.
