The record
A ten-inch Prestige from 1954: Ray Copeland's trumpet and Frank Foster's tenor over Monk's piano, Curly Russell on bass, Art Blakey pushing from behind. Rudy Van Gelder engineered. Four titles is all a ten-inch side holds, and 'Hackensack' is the one to drop the needle on -- horns and rhythm both working the same jagged corners.
