Sarah Vaughan, Sarah Vaughan, 1955 on EmArcy
Later reissued as Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown, this was Vaughan’s second self-titled LP, and her second studio album. The band also includes Paul Quinichette on tenor sax, Roy Haynes on drums, Herbie Mann on flute, and Jimmy Jones on piano.
It was originally recorded December 18th, 1954, and released in 1955. What a masterful set of recordings.
My copy—via private sale—is the Acoustic Sounds Series reissue from 2021, on 180 gram vinyl, with a gatefold cover and an inner liner about the series and the role of Quality Record Pressing and Chad Kassem.

Illinois Jacquet - Swing's the Thing
1956 and Jacquet is making a great case for why Swing should get more respect. Just a whole lot of energetic fun, and when the tempo slows down, some beautiful ballad playing.
With Jacquet (tenor), Roy Eldridge (trumpet), Jimmy Jones (piano), Herb Ellis (guitar), Ray Brown (bass), and Jo Jones—no, not Philly Joe Jones—on drums.

"Handy Man" is a song written by singer #JimmyJones and songwriter #OtisBlackwell. Recordings by #DelShannon and The Sparks Of Rhythm list Charles Merenstein as a co-writer, as does #BMI. The Sparks Of Rhythm version on the Apollo 541 single version released in 1959 credits Andrew Barksdale and Merenstein as writers, omitting Jimmy Jones. The song is noted for Jones singing "Come-a, come-a come-a come-a, come come-a, yeah", which is heard at the beginning.

"Good Timin'" was a #numberone single in the #UKSinglesChart during 1960, written by #FredTobias and #ClintBallardJr, and performed by #JimmyJones. In the U.S., the follow-up to "#HandyMan" went to number three on #Billboard #Hot100 chart and number eight on the R&B chart. The song extrapolates the historical encounters between #David and #Goliath and between #Columbus and #Isabella as reason enough for a boy to meet a girl.

The album is divided between “The Pretty, The Lovely, The Tender, The Hold-Me-Close Side” and “The Finger-Snapping, Head-Shaking, Toe-Tapping, Go-For-Yourself Side.” Recorded by Val Valentin and produced by Norman Granz (those are his black & white photos), this is Verve at its mid-60s best.
In addition to Ellington and Fitzgerald, personnel included Louis Bellson on drums; John Lamb on […]
