Willie Bobo - BOBO MOTION, original 1967 mono. I'm sure stereo sounds more interesting, but this is what I got. A nice, funky album, displaying technical mastery of those on it. The band personnel is not listed, I hear someone similar to Plas Johnson there. It's a top of the line, swinging band.

All the tunes were arranged by Bert Keyes and Sonny Hill, names that are not immediately recalled by my unencumbered memory.

Also dig the cover.

Giants of Jazz (Atlantic)

Georgia Blues Today (Flyright)

I regret what I didn't know. I'm old enough that I could have driven the 70 miles or so to Perry, Georgia and danced to guitarist James Davis' instrumental "drum music" at his regular Friday night gig. If only I had known.

One of the few Flyrights I never bought.

Charlie Christian / Wardell Gray - Tribute From Sweden (Fran Staterna). A Boris Rose production, disguised as a Swedish release to avoid legal repercussions. Christian gets side one; Wardell side two. The Wardell side, with the Benny Goodman Sextet and the Count Basie Seven, is all kinds of fabulous.

My cover looks like this, but is light pink rather than blue.
