That producer fellow John Hammond sure knows how to pick 'em! Mark my words---one of these days some competitor is going to steal the whole Jones-Smith Orchestra right out from under his nose.

That was reissued on Jazztone LP. Beautiful.

How about December 18, 1959, Theatre des Champs Elysees.
Art Blakey with Wayne Shorter and Barney Wilen and Lee Morgan, Walter Davis, Jymie Merritt..and Bud Powell.
