Mingus Plays Piano (Jasmine)
Whenever I play this, the first thing that hits me is how much more feeling there is in this music compared to many recordings by full time pianists. But then, Mingus' music was always about feelings.
As far as Muse goes, there were exceptions. But I remember try to find decently pressed copies of Jaki Byard's solo album on Muse and the Art Hodes/Milt Hinton Muse LP and having no luck whatsoever.

The Alternate Blues (Pablo)
After listening to this, I completely understand Jim Sangrey's feelings about Bobby Durham. Too bad he didn't get lost on his way to the studio. A drummerless session would have worked just fine.
