The record

Bechet on soprano and clarinet, Frank Newton's trumpet and J.C. Higginbotham's trombone, Teddy Bunn's guitar underneath -- a small band with a big front. The credits carry two pianists, Albert Ammons and Art Hodes, plus two bassists and two drummers. Seven titles on a Blue Note ten-inch from 1952, five of them blues by name, in a Burt Goldblatt sleeve.
