Recommended? Are there others to which you would go before this?

Yes.  Everything I've heard from them is very good (or better). 

My favorites are probably Con Un Poco De Songo and In Concert: Live at The University of Puerto Rico.  A very young Giovanni Hidalgo plays on the latter.

Wycliffe Gordon & Ron Westray – Bone Structure (Atlantic, 1996)

R-4212722-1358696948-6833.jpg

My first listen to this. Double trombone front line, with Marsalis / JatLC acolytes. I'm surprised how much I enjoyed this record. They're talented players, and the tunes are actually good. 

"Bone Structure" is a good one.

Right now

"The Complete Columbia J.J. Johnson Small Group Sessions" Mosaic Records box set, cd 3

What is it like?

I hate trying to describe music - Ethio Jazz keyboards with horn choruses, some solos. Has a laidback funkiness to it with some almost Middle-eastern touches. Sits somewhere between Atstatke, something on Brownswood Records and bizarrely Khruangbin. It really grew on my through the album. Ideal summer music, I'd say

Better than taking my words for it
