The record

Three trumpets across a 1964 New Jazz compilation -- Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Fats Navarro -- and the reeds keep pace: Sonny Rollins, Jackie McLean, Jimmy Heath, Don Lanphere. Milt Jackson appears in the piano chair, which is the detail worth chasing. Art Blakey, Max Roach and Joe Harris split the drums. Assembled from separate dates, so take it as a survey rather than a session.
