Django
Album US 1956 on Prestige label
Jazz (Post-Bop, Cool Jazz)
First pressing: '446 W. 50th ST., N.Y.C.' address on the labels. "The Queen's Fancy", "Delaunay's Dilemma", "Autumn In New York", "But Not For Me" recorded June 25, 1953. (Session 1) "La Ronde Suite" recorded January 9, 1955. (Session 2) "Django", "One Bass Hit", "Milano" recorded December 23, 1954. (Session 3) The letters AB in the dead wax aren't really part of the matrix/runout numbers, as they're in fact the abbreviation that indicates Abbey Record Manufacturing Co., Inc. pressing plant. The hand-etched RVG initials in the dead wax of the a-side have a tilted "A" left of the RVG initials; the b-side as a tilted "D" to the right of the RVG initials (see images). They're common on Prestige pressings; see also the tilted "A" letters on PRLP 7053.
