An early use of Ed Benguiat’s appropriately named Jumpy Latin, for an album by the George Wallington Quintet, which at the time included Donald Byrd, Jackie McLean, Art Taylor, and Paul Chambers. It was recorded at New York’s Cafe Bohemia seventy years ago, on September 9, 1955, and released by Progressive Records the following year.

Photography (and cover design?) by Carole Reiff Galletly (1934–1984).
