  1. Charles Mingus - Blues & Roots

    Mingus could do so much...but the album that people think of is often this—the one he put out to prove he could swing with the best of them.

    And, hell, he sure could, accompanied by Booker Ervin (tenor), Dannie Richmond (drums), Horace Parlan (piano), Jackie McLean (alto), Jimmy Knepper (trombone), John Handy (alto), Mal Waldron (piano), Pepper Adams (baritone), and Willie Dennie (trombone).

  2. Donald Byrd - Royal Flush

    I guess it's 1961-day here.

    An enjoyable hard bop session, and Herbie Hancock's Blue Note debut, accompanying Byrd (trumpet), Butch Warren (bass), Billy Higgins (drums), and Pepper Adams (sax).

    Nice, un-limited remaster has that distinct RvG sound (including putting Hancock's piano in a cardboard box).
