From all the more traditional recordings McLean made before "One Step Beyond" this is my favourite. Nowadays  I rarely listen to the dozens of Prestige sessions he did but this one is my idea of a perfectly done Standardtunes-Album with a perfect rhythm-section. And dig "Let´s face the music and dance", that´s a very very old tune I think from the late 20´s or early 30´s but very interesting chords. 
It´s interesting that Walter Bishop, who was quite obscure after the time with Bird, did some sessions around 1960 as a sideman for BN, the others I think was the "Cappuccino-Swing" that @BillF mentioned, and the wonderful Dizzy Reece album. 

And Jimmy Garrison on bass was also was a quite rare guest on BN.

If I remember right, there was also a Clifford Brown "Memorial Album" on Prestige. This one is very fine and I think it was done before Brownie became really famous. Is this the one with Lou Donaldson on as ? The lineup for the Blakey live date at Birdland ? Anyway, I have it somewhere, I think it is one of Brownies earlier records before the Roach-Brown Unit.

Oh yeah. It is interesting, that all sidemen of Miles Davis´ so called "Second Quintet" recorded for BN. This one is astonishing for a just 18 year old boy. He must have been very very adult for his age to make such a highly intellectual album. Wonderful music.  It shows another side of Tony , the composer side. 

Anyway, Tony always has been one of my favourite drummers.

oh fine, a lot of old BN stuff around here now. 
Maybe this one was the best showcase for Mr.Chambers, though maybe lesser known than "Whims of Chambers". I had "Whims" mostly for Trane and Philly J.J. and I think I saw this "Quintet" only as a BN-Conn. The third album without horns is the most obscure one. I don´t think it sold that well.

Yeah that´s the one. Interesting that it is also titled "Memorial Album". I think I bought the Prestige mostly for the Side B with the Dameron organisation, the legendary "Atlantic City Band". I think those tunes were lesser known, at least from the musicians point of view. We would do quite a few Dameron compositions like Hot House, Good  Bait, Our Delight, If you could see me know and so on, I mean the tunes that are performed in general until knowadays, but the tunes from the here mentioned sessions I think I only had heard by Philly J.J.´ "Dameronia"-Band.
