Mambo in Trumpet [ens grunts] OKeh 6953
b/w
Probably [JW, ? voc] OKeh 6953
OKeh 6953 was a single released in April 1953, in both 78 and 45 rpm versions.
According to Chris Trent, "Mambo in Trumpet" and "Probably" are "definitely Sun Ra arrangements." "Mambo in Trumpet" uses the heavy Latin rhythm that Sunny was fond of in the late 1950s.
"Probably" has a post-Ellingtonian sax ensemble with a heavy bottom. . Indeed, Hampton, Washington, and Easton shift from a clarinet trio, through two clarinets and a tenor sax [a violation of orthodox jazz arranging rules], and finally to their usual instruments.
