The record
Grachan Moncur III's angular writing steers the frontline into cooler, freer terrain, Hutcherson's vibes casting a strange shimmer over the harmony. A high point of Blue Note's early-'60s drift toward open structure.

Pressings
The earliest on file here is the 1964 US mono, BLP 4165 -- a Plastylite pressing with an RVG stamp and laminated sleeve. The 1964 stereo is catalogued plainly as 84165 and splits two ways, one with a deep groove on the A-side and one without. Blue Note kept reissuing as BST-84165 through 1975. Music Matters' 2011 45 RPM gatefold, MMBST-84165, is the audiophile choice; the 2013 Down at Dawn DAD107 is an unofficial release.
Showing the first pressing, audiophile reissues and copies carrying a collector marker, out of 37 pressings on file.
