Background edit
The lineup recorded and performed together from 1961 into 1964. Hubbard and Walton became permanent members of the group following the 1961 departures of trumpeter Lee Morgan and pianist Bobby Timmons.
Release history edit
The Mosaic recording session featured no alternate takes and, therefore, has yielded no bonus material in reissue.[citation needed]
