The principal reason that recording is so great is the rhythm section,
esp. Hank Jones, who was, imho, one of the two dozen or so greatest
jazz musicians of the 20th century, on ANY instrument.
The session was recorded before MD signed a contract with the label. He
wound up signing with Columbia instead, so the session had to be issed
under Cannonball's name, for contractual reasons. But it was definitely
MD's date.
