This past weekend:

George Benson, In Concert: Carnegie Hall (CTI). Three songs with prime Benson guitar, one turkey of a track journeying into crooner-land.

Urbie Green, The Fox (CTI). Good first side.

Sonny Criss, Joy of Sax (Impulse). Overproduced commercial effort, but Sonny Criss still sounds great.

Keith Jarrett, Mysteries (Impulse). I wish Dewey Redman were still alive.

Charlie Byrd, Mr. Guitar (Riverside).

I like Curly Russell's playing on this one. Too bad he didn't get many more record dates after this - at least as far as I know of.

His Wikipedia entry says he left the music business in the late 1950s. I think I read somewhere that he was driving a taxi sometime after that. Sadly for him, jazz bass playing had moved on. A bass player friend of mine in the sixties was very critical of of Russell's playing - and of some others of his era - pointing out "wrong notes" he was playing on Parker-era recordings. Of course, my friend went into raptures over Paul Chambers and Doug Watkins. Percy Heath seemed to be the first of the new generation that he could stomach.

Is that the Ahura Mazda single?

Yeah. It's late and I got the labels mixed up. Apologies for that.

I have the Ahura Mazda LP, which you probably have also. My copy of the Takoma is different from the one you posted  - mine has some color on the cover - not sure which is original - and I mistook your post for the Ahura Mazda, which is black and white. Plus, as I say, I was tired last night. Anyway, it's all good and they're both good Robert Pete.
