The record
Two dates, two pianists: Silver's bluesy comping underwrites the loose swagger of the title cut with Milt Jackson's vibes, while Monk needles the Rollins-Davis quartet into sharper corners on the flip.
Session personnel
- Percy Heath — bass
- Kenny Clarke — drums
- Horace Silver — piano
- Thelonious Monk — piano
- Sonny Rollins — tenor saxophone
- Miles Davis — trumpet

Pressings
The earliest on file is the 1957 US Prestige 7109 in mono, carrying an RVG stamp -- that stamp runs through the 1958 repress and on into a 1964 Indianapolis pressing that also shows a deep groove. Prestige renumbered to PR 7109 in 1964. No US stereo appears in our data; the stereo rows are German and Japanese. OJC-245 has been in and out of print since 1986, and Analogue Productions has cut it twice, as the 45 RPM AJAZ 7109 and the 200 gram mono APRJ 7109.
Showing the first pressing, audiophile reissues and copies carrying a collector marker, out of 109 pressings on file.
