Research Comments:	In his liner notes H. Alan Stein observed, “The classic TELEFUNKEN BLUES title came from a chance remark by Frank Wess about Rudy Van Gelder’s excellent recording equipment. Commenting on the excellent sound, he cried, ‘Man, no wonder it’s coming out so funky, he’s using Telefunken microphones.’” This 12-inch LP also contained material from a session recorded in Hollywood on November 1, 1954 featuring Clarke with a different sextet.
