The record
Billy Taylor doubling piano and organ is the detail that makes this one, with Charlie Smith (2) credited on congas, Earl May on bass and Joe Holiday's tenor out front across 'Besame Mucho' and 'Fiesta'. Prestige pressed it as a promo 78 in 1954, catalog 878. Organ and congas together give the pair of sides an unusual colour.
