I don't think Ira Sullivan has even been mentioned yet.

Great thread. I've noticed some of these (if not all) are available on Amazon for around $9 as MP3 downloads. I pretty much still never buy MP3 albums, but does that make the limited amount moot?

I've actually seen an album or two where Ray Charles plays alto sax--I believe for the entire album. I can't track down the info though right now. Edit to add that it was a tribute to Charlie Parker, iirc That's "Soul brothers", with Milt Jackson. Ray plays piano on most, if not all, tracks, but gets in some alto playing, too. And Milt gets in some piano playing, when Ray's on alto, and guitar playing. But they're both on their main instrument most of the time. But you've reminded me about Ray Charles - Genius + Soul = Jazz - Impulse Ray Charles - Genius + Soul = Jazz Live - Golden Age of Jazz Ray plays organ throughout these two albums. MG That's the one, yep. Oh, I didn't realize it wasn't the whole album. How are the Ray Charles organ albums? -Jay

Nice. I'm listening to the BN sessions now.

Don Wilkerson--Cookin' With Clarence from Shoutin'! session on the Complete Blue Note Conn. I was caught listening to this at a party when friends came back from a cigarette break with my headphones on, my eyes shut, and my head bobbing. Someone needed to ask if I was ok. I said, I'm great!

Jaki Byard--To Them-To Us (Soul Note)

Up. I'm listening to the Touch of Pepper LP on Argo-Cadet I got from Dan, and I love it. I first heard John Young on one of Chuck's Von Freeman LPs, and thought, damn I gotta get something with him as a leader. I highly recommend this one.

The John Young Trio--A Touch of Pepper (Argo-Cadet)

Very sorry to hear this. I just ordered "Introducing," the Conn that is going out of print.

Thank you! Cheers, Jay

AMEN! Just got my organissimo box!

okey dokey Doctor Jones

Wayne Shorter

Junior Cook. I was just listening to Pressure Cooker last night, and I like it, but it's just missing something. I kept thinking, I wish that were HS on piano--that would really make this swing!

VG condition! What an enormous waste of money.

The Kalaparusha tune "Jays" from the Wildflowers New York Jazz Loft Sessions fits this perfectly.
