Classic Prestige jam session from the late 50's, with Thad Jones on trumpet, Frank Wess on tenor and flute, Teddy Charles on vibes, Mal Waldron on piano, Doug Watkins on bass, and Elvin Jones on drums. Charles is amazing, as he is on all of his Prestige recordings, and he plays with a dark edge that you seldom hear from other vibists at the time. Waldron's the great unsung hero of these sessions, as his playing and compositions are consistently remarkable, and which provide great accompaniment for the horn players.
Tracks include the fantastic "Dakar", plus "Touche", "Blues Without Woe", and "Potpourri".
1965 repackaging of the Olio album from the 50s with a different title and cover.

Clásica jam session de prestigio de finales de los 50, con Thad Jones a la trompeta, Frank Wess al tenor y flauta, Teddy Charles a las vibraciones, Mal Waldron al piano, Doug Watkins al bajo y Elvin Jones a la batería. Charles es increíble, como lo es en todas sus grabaciones de Prestigio, y toca con un toque oscuro que rara vez escuchas de otros vibistas en ese momento. Waldron es el gran héroe anónimo de estas sesiones, ya que su forma de tocar y sus composiciones son consistentemente notables y brindan un gran acompañamiento a los trompistas.
Las pistas incluyen el fantástico "Dakar", más "Touche", "Blues Without Woe "y"Popurrí".
1965 fue reempaquetado del álbum Olio de los años 50 con un título y portada diferentes.
