  1. Milt Jackson & John Coltrane, Bags & Trane, 1961 on Atlantic

    Jackson and Coltrane are joined by Hank Jones (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Connie Kay (drums). Recording supervised by Nesuhi Ertegun, engineered by Tom Dowd.

    Great LP, bringing together Milt Jackson (Bags) of The Modern Jazz Quartet and John Coltrane (Trane) who had a year earlier put out Giant Steps. I’m not always a fan of the vibraphone but love how it plays off of Coltrane on this album.

    My copy—via a private sale—is the 2017 reissue by Rhino Vinyl, in mono, pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal GmbH. Sounds great.

  11. Paul Desmond, Pure Desmond, 1975 on CTI Records

    Desmond (who composed Take Five and was a critical part of the Dave Brubeck Quartet) playing here with Ron Carter, Ed Bickert, and Connie Kay – recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in 1974 and produced by Creed Taylor.

    One of five albums Desmond put out on CTI in the late 60s and 70s. including Summertime and Skylark (with Gabor Szabo). It’s very fusion, and features Ed Bickert on guitar as much as (or more so than) Desmond.

    My copy, via Crossroads Records in Portland OR, is a 1975 issue with Van Gelder in the runouts.

  17. Chet Baker, Chet, 1959 on Riverside

    The labels carry a subtitle of “Ballads by Chet Baker,” and the rear cover suggests “The lyrical trumpet of Chet Baker” but most people just call it Chet. Riverside RLP 12-299 (mono) and RLP 1135 (stereo).

    He’s joined here by Pepper Adams, Paul Chambers, Herbie Mann, Bill Evans, and Philly Joe Jones / Connie Kay splitting drums duty, plus Kenny Burrell on two tracks. The liner notes (by Orrin Keepnews) say “Pianist Bill Evans . . . is just beginning to attract real public attention, but has for some time been the object of extreme praise from fellow musicians.”

    My copy is a 2021 reissue by Craft Recordings (CR 00359) pressed at RTI with lacquers cut by Kevin Grey – via Beatnick Records in Montreal QC – which sounds fantastic.

  21. Milt Jackson Quartet - The Nearness of You

    This seems to be the UK version of the Prestige s/t LP from 1955.

    Basically, it's the MJQ without John Lewis. Subbing for Lewis - Horace Silver. And subbing for blues-influenced jams, a series of standards.

  26. Milt Jackson - In A New Setting

    Excellent 1964 set by Jackson, McCoy Tyner (piano), Jimmy Heath (sax), Bob Cranshaw (bass), and (of course) Connie Kay (drums).

    From what I’ve read, the CD of this suffers from a degraded master tape. This, though, is an original 1964 Japanese pressing in fine form (there’s some tape saturation on the piano, typical of the recording style).

    And what a great cover…

  31. Milt Jackson & Coleman Hawkins - Bean Bags

    1958 session with Bags, Hawkins, Kenny Burrell (guitar), Tommy Flanagan (piano), Connie Kay (drums), and Eddie Jones (bass) - kind of an all star lineup there - and it’s as great as those players promise.

    (Stereo Japanese promo pressing in great shape, albeit with a stained jacket.)

  36. ”For a while, it is true, so many bossa nova or pseudo-samba albums were being recorded that everyone, musicians and businessmen alike, spoke of the movement as if it were an ephemeral novelty and predicted that the overproduction would soon run it into the ground.”

    You don’t say.
