Now spinning on my 'table:

The Pee Wee Russell Quartet - New Groove (Columbia, 1963)
Another LP from a recent dollar bin haul.  It was covered in dust when I found it, but -- after a couple spins on the record vac -- it sounds great.  The audio fidelity of the mono LP really is astonishing -- especially since I'd only heard the music previously via YouTube.  (There aren't any production credits on the cover.  Fred Plaut, I wonder?) ... Music-wise, it's not typical Pee Wee.  The quartet is more reminiscent of a Mulligan piano-less group -- or Jimmy Giuffre with Bob Brookmeyer -- than anything you'd normally associate with Pee Wee.  But it's always fun to hear Russell's clarinet -- in any setting.  ;)

I’ve got an old mono pressing of that one and I agree, it sounds great.

This one from a past RSD. Good stuff.
