Yes, McRae, Ronnell Bright and Ray Bryant alternate on the piano chair on this LP--one session is Carmen or Ronnell, the other session Ray. Ike Isaacs and Specs Wright are the drummer and bassist.

Miles Davis “My Funny Valentine” Sony Blu-Spec CD2 2023

This was a key element in my earliest musical impressions. One of the best Miles albums from the acoustic era. 
I heard those versions of "Valentine" and "All Blues" first and only years later I heard KOB and was disappointed because it sounded to "polished" to me. 

And I think that this version of Funny Valentine is the only one that I like. Sure it might be a nice tune but I have avoided to play it since 50 years, cannot even say why

Emily Remler “Retrospective, Volume 1–Standards” Concord cd

Her vibe is a great way to start a day. “How Insensitive” with Coryell here is lovely.

I'd never heard Mr. Cohen, but I noticed that his trio is coming to our provincial jazz festival this summer. Before purchasing tickets, I thought I'd check out some of his recordings on itunes. I think I'll attend his concert. Probably one of the "jazziest" concerts on offer.

Count Basie and Benny Carter Legendary Radio Broadcasts

The Basie sets are from '37, '38 and '40. Carter is from '39, '42-'43 and '46. 

Bandcamp link is here. 

The Basie is excellent. Per the notes, this is from the oldest preserved broadcast from Chatterbox, PA.

“Nat King Cole at the Blue Note Chicago” cd 2

This was an RSD release on LP and cd but is coming out next month on both formats in a more permanent edition.

Quite nice performances and sound is decent.
