I know and love the Roulette record with Basie & Bennett.

... I'm not familiar with the Columbia LP.  I should rectify that!

What's the other one, Jim?

 

It was issued on Old Town, but Verve won the deal - there's a whole album on Verve, three tracks on Old Town. And the CD of the Verve album contains the three tracks that were on Old Town. So you don't have to go looking for another album unless you really want to buy vinyl, in which case

It's real cheap on Discogs :)

Well, I said, "sorta", and that's exactly what it was, and even less of what it is...

Prysock at the time of the Basie record was under contract to the Old Town label (and check out the many records he made there, please do!), so the reciprocation for his recordin on Verve,. besides him eventually getting a deal with them (and check out the many records he made there, please do!) was this album on Old Town:

Three cuts with Basie, and if you say, HEY - those three are on the Verve CD, well, you'd be right, and the liner notes explain that, just more record company holdings bingo and such. But before that happened, you needed to get two different records on two different labels to hear the complete collaboration. But now you don't.

But it's a mistake to ignore Arthur Prysock on Old Town. Settings can and do vary wildly, but that voice...
