Daybreak Blues by  The Port of Harlem Jazzmen.  But maybe Cheesecake by Dexter Gordon.  (Not to be confused with  Cheesecake by Louis Armstrong.)

Best vocal on Blue Note? A reminder that, while Lion promoted a good few tootlers and tinklers, the beauties of the human voice seem to have eluded him.

The tune from this album - "Base On Balls"

Begins with slow walking bass from Doug Watkins that leads into a very bluesy solo by Horace Silver and then onto a marvelous Hank Mobley solo. I have loved this track ever since I first bought the LP back in the 50's.

+1

On the subject of Wayne... late in the BN game but, IMO, one of his best "solos" (I mean, the entire performance is pretty much a Wayne solo).
