This platter makes me wish Steve Swallow would have stayed with (or at least used alternatively) acoustic bass ....

Unexpected for sure. I knew Davern fairly well before he passed away. Quite a guy.

He's not a player whom I know very well. Those first two Soprano Summit records are good. Otherwise, pretty unknown to me.

Currently listening to The Gotham Scene by Bobby Hackett after the post of the Mosaic a few days ago.

Have been spinning that set myself over the last week or so. Great set !

Currently spinning Jimmy Heath Orchestra 'Really Big !'  (OJC CD). BillF's old disk lives on, lovely stuff. On drums - Albert Heath (RIP).

Cedar Walton has long been among my very favorite jazz pianists. I have almost all of his recordings as both leader and sideman.

His playing on this Ettta Jones recording  may well be the very best playing I have heard by Cedar Walton. The first track is by the trio and is outstanding. Cedar also gets a lot of solo space on all the vocal tracks and , once again, is in tip top form. His comping behind Etta Jones is also wonderful. 

I should also say that Jones vocal are damn good too.

Don't sleep on this album if you are a Cedar Walton fan. This is the best jazz album I have heard in a long time!
