Prez plays I Got Rhythm

[medjuck]

I'm a moldy fig about Prez-- I much prefer his earlier to his later work, but just to prove me wrong there's this.

That's some prime Pres, even with idiot-stick yakking all through.  Anyone have any idea who, when and where.  The regular working band with Jesse Drake and Roy Haynes?  When Pres comes back in around the 9 min mark there's some very nice playing.
