The record
Eddie Jefferson sings on this one, which is reason enough to pull it, and the band behind him is a real horn section: Dave Burns on trumpet, William Shepherd on trombone, Pee Wee Moore's baritone under James Moody's tenor and alto. Jimmy Boyd, John Lathan and Clarence Johnston hold the rhythm. Prestige PRLP 7011, 1955, engineered by Rudy Van Gelder.
