Henri Texier - Colonel Skopje (Label Bleu, 1989).  Henri Texier - doublebass; Aldo Romano - drums; Steve Swallow - electric bass; John Abercrombie - guitar; Joe Lovano - tenor, soprano sax, flute, perc. 

I picked up that CD a few months back, and I've really enjoyed it.  I guess it's no surprise that it's so good, given the participants. ;) 

It is a bit of an odd choice for a cover photo. Not bad. Just odd.

I have the version that Evidence issued under license from Label Bleu. It looks like this:

More what you'd expect with that title.  Oh well.  Either way, I dig the music. :)

Joanne Brackeen - Popsicle Illusion (Arkadia)
Wonderful solo piano.

"Illusion" must be an important word to Brackeen. Popsicle Illusion is her second recording with the word in the title. The first was New True Illusion. 

Given her "illusion" fascination, I bet Brackeen really digs this guy:

Younger folks: Google Doug Henning.

Never encountered this one .... your thoughts ?

It's excellent.  Glen Hall is a strong saxophonist (ts, ss, b cl) who moves freely from "inside" to "out," and the rhythm section is non-pareil.  It was originally released in 1979 on the tiny Sonora label. 

Koch apparently thought enough of the record to reissue it back in the 1990s when they were dabbling in jazz.  Their decision gets a "seal of approval" from me. ;)
