JazzCuba, Vol. 5: Irakere (Rumor Records)
From what I've been able to gather from Irakere's VERY confusing discography, this is a reissue of a 1976 studio album recorded in Havana -- with two bonus tracks. Originally, the album was simply titled Grupo Irakere (EGREM/Areito), as shown below:

Also, earlier this morning (via YT):

Irakere - 2 (Columbia)
Studio album recorded in NYC in 1979, after the success of their first Columbia record made at Newport & Montreux.  This is much less jazz-oriented, more commercial (Let's DISCO, baby!) compared to the album above -- but it's still interesting.

Bennie Green "Soul Stirrin'" Blue Note 80th Anniversary reissue CD from Japan.

I've always loved this session and Gene Ammons adds so much to this one. Sound is great on this reissue.

Yeah man! Love that Bennie Green record! :tup

Still one of my favorite Sinatra albums.  FS was in his prime and every track here works flawlessly.  The album works especially well because Billy May's arrangements dance on their own.  This is one instance where I think the album works best by itself.  The CD bonus tracks pale in comparison, even the duets with Keely Smith.
