The record
Two bassists and two drummers sit in the credits -- Gary Mapp and Percy Heath, Art Blakey and Max Roach -- on a compilation Prestige assembled in 1956. Monk is the constant: the lurching stride of Just A Gigolo, the hard angles of Little Rootie Tootie and Trinkle Tinkle. Rudy Van Gelder cut the lacquer, Ira Gitler wrote the notes.
