  1. Bill Evans - Quintessence

    Late period Evans, on Fantasy, from 1976. On this, he's joined by Harold Land (tenor), Kenny Burrell (guitar), Ray Brown (bass), and Philly Joe Jones (drums).

    A relatively short album, with no Evans originals...but the group does a nice job with these tracks.

    I'm going to excuse the bad pun in the title.

  2. Chet Baker in New York

    Chet flies from California to NYC to take a bite out of the 1958 Big Apple. Meeting him here are Miles' rhythm section (Philly Joe Jones & Paul Chambers), along with Al Haig (piano), and Johnny Griffin (tenor).

    Lots of melodic songs with good playing all around, and the rhythm section pushes everyone into a less West Coast style.

  3. Hank Mobley - Poppin'

    Add another one to the "old session (in this case, 1957) on the shelf until years later (1980)" pile. And even then, it was only released in Japan until recently.

    Craziness.

    Well, at least it's out now—a great hard bop session with Art Farmer (trumpet), Pepper Adams (baritone), Sonny Clark (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Philly Joe Jones (drums).
