The record
The vocal credit belongs to Eddie Jefferson, which is reason enough on its own. Around him, Dave Burns on trumpet, William Shepherd on trombone and Pee Wee Moore's baritone, with Moody listed on both tenor and alto, Jimmy Boyd at the piano, John Lathan and Clarence Johnston underneath. Prestige, 1956, lacquer cut by Rudy Van Gelder, notes by Ira Gitler.
