Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 12-inch, 33-1/3 rpm "high fidelity 360 sound" (mono) Columbia CL 892, near-mint vinyl in a good-only cardboard jacket with a strip of tape along top edge, still showing its small original "98" price tag. The back-up trombonists include Urbie Green and Jimmy Cleveland, bass trombonists Bart Varsalone and Tom Mitchell, with Hank Jones piano, Milt Hinton bass, and Osie Johnson drums. J.J Johnson and Kai Winding here introduce the trombonium, an upright valve trombone, as the octet offers Dizzy Gillespie's "Night in Tunisia," "The Continental," "You're My Thrill," and Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Surrey With the Fringe On Top," others.
