I agree that Kako's music is much more classically-oriented than, say, Satoh or Kikuchi.  Even so, I think he's made some excellent music. 

For example, I like these two albums very much:

 

 

I've never heard Colour of Dream -- it sounds like I need to -- or Valencia.  

 

Thanks. Both these albums are good, I've listened to some of each on Youtube.

Passage (the first one, piano + percussion) is much more to my taste.

Legend of the sea - myself (the second one, more instruments + some voice) reminds me of 12-tone chamber music, which isn't necessarily a bad thing (I recently went on a Second Viennese School binge), but is a sound world I rarely visit these days.

Louis Armstrong, Hellraiser Supreme

Just perfect for me. On the rare occasions I can spend to listen to a record, mostly after midnight, this is the ideal stuff for me. Such great players, and such great compositions. "Sweet Love of Mine" and "Katrina Ballerina" are tunes I love so much. Some of the best players I ever heard, I had seen the group exactly on those days of early 1983. Then with Steve Turré who is not on this special date. It was THE group of the early 80´s. Some of the best things you could hear then and learn from....

Sonny Phillips “Sure 'Nuff & Black Magic” Beat Goes Public cd

Two Prestige albums on one cd and they sure get the morning going. I especially like the little bit of Sonny on Fender Rhodes here. And some ROCKIN’ guitar from Boogaloo Joe Jones and Melvin Sparks.

I've always been a little underwhelmed by his leader dates (although they're still good) but the album covers are the sharpest in hard bop history.

These are my favorite of his that I have heard. I really like what the bass players add. Covers really don't factor for me--and is thois hard bop? I'd say soul jazz..
