Agreed.  Elmo Hope should be heard more.  I think his best is when he plays with Philly Joe Jones.

 

Yes I love Hope. Probably one of the most underrated pianists, always in the shadow of Powell and Monk. I love these ones

Charles Bell is also an obscure but interesting figure.  He sounds like an amalgam of John Lewis and Ahmad Jamal for me.  Introverted and still funky.  He made a few recordings in the early 60's, then left an active playing career to become a music educator. Drummer Poogie Bell is his son.

I love and cherish those two albums. I have purchased the other Bell that I could find. 

Color me curious by both the comments and the sample. Think I'll hunt these down. Thanks to you both.
