The record
Charles Mingus on bass and Sabu Martinez on conga drum make a rhythm section with opinions, and Kenny Clarke and Wynton Kelly are not along for the ride either. Johnson's trombone rides on top across six titles, 'Old Devil Moon' and 'Too Marvelous For Words' among them. Ten-inch Blue Note, BLP 5057.
