I don´t think I know it. I think once I saw a Pablo record of Benny Carter with "In a Mellow Tone" on it, very fine, but this seems to be another record. Anyway I like those lesser known Pablos, not all that Oscar Peterson stuff of which Norman was so fond of, no....more those he maybe didn´t get the same top billing though they the greatest, like Benny Carter, Like Eddie Lockjaw Davis (I only would have wished Jaw´s album had another pianist....)......

yeah, the one with Mellow Tone and Undecided I had heard. 

The one with Eddi "Lockjaw" Davis and Harry Sweets Edison reminds me of the second half of the 70´s when I saw them together live on several occasions. It was great ! Though I was more into more advanced forms of jazz, they swung so hard it was just wonderful, I loved it, loved them !
