The record
A 1954 Paris date pairing Pettiford's cello -- his second, jazzier voice alongside the bass -- with a sharp transatlantic front line of Cohn, Winding, and Farlow, anchored by Roach's brushwork. Vogue's clean French pressing captures a loose, swinging session from a bassist who kept redefining what his instrument could lead.
