The record
James Moody doubling alto and tenor in front of a string group conducted by André Hodeir, with harp, flute, clarinet and bass clarinet in the ensemble -- the settings matter as much as the solos. Blue Note BLP 5005, a ten-inch from 1952, cover by Paul Bacon. Most of the supporting players, Pierre Michelot and Raymond Fol among them, are marked uncredited on the release itself.
