A couple of Brother Jack McDuff titles this morning:

Who Knows What Tomorrow's Gonna Bring? (Blue Note, 1971)
Fun to hear Ray Draper get down on the tuba here. Draper also wrote 4 of the 6 tunes. He should've gotten a "featuring Ray Draper" credit on the front cover!

The Heatin' System (Cadet, 1972)
I've been listening to this over and over lately. It features some outstanding percussion work by two guys who are completely new to me: Greg Williams (d) and Fred "Derf" Walker (cga).

 

Also this:

Arnett Cobb is Back! (Progressive, 1978)
Cobb's in fine fettle and his rhythm team is outstanding -- Derek Smith (p); George Mraz (b); and Billy Hart (d).  Honestly, to this listener's ears, the Mraz - Jabali combination on anything is a guarantee that the rhythm is going to be operating at the highest level.

Full agreement - I learned that conga drums intro by Bill Summers not for note, and still know it by heart!

I love their vocal arrangements. I don't have many albums by vocal groups - more by the Coasters and the Pointer sisters than any others.

These two great veterans are showcased here as recorded "live" in Chicago and L.A. in 1957 with the surprising accompaniment of the MJQ rhythm section.  Were the MJQ part of the JATP tour in that autumn of '57?  On the final track, OP replaces John Lewis and the front line is augmented by Pres, Getz and J.J.

My first Basie record ever ... bought when I was 15 or 16 (at that time that Musicidsic series was all over the place in our record shops here and above all was affordable enough for a student's budget ;)). I listened to it countless times at that time and it made quite some impression on me and the broadcast atmosphere with announcer 'n all made you feel like you were in front of your radio when the performances were actually broadcast.
