The record
Horace Parlan's bluesy comping and Bill Hardman's brass punch fill out this turn-of-the-decade session, with two bassists -- Jackson and Jones -- adding extra low-end weight to grooves that never stray far from the pocket.

Pressings
The earliest pressing on file is the 1961 US Blue Note mono BLP 4036, with a deep groove, an RVG stamp, the 47 W 63rd address and a laminated sleeve. A 1966 mono copy of the same number keeps the deep groove but has no ear, so check the deadwax rather than the label alone. Modern options are real: Classic Records' 200-gram mono BN 4036-MONO-200G from 2008 and Analogue Productions' 45 RPM ABNJ 84036 from 2010.
