The record
A two-sided shellac 78 rather than an album -- 'Whispering' backed with 'Down', Prestige 742, 1951. The band is the draw: Miles Davis with Bennie Green on trombone and Sonny Rollins on tenor, John Lewis at the piano, Percy Heath and Roy Haynes underneath. Clean copies of ten-inch shellac from this era are not easy to come by.
