My problem is I DO trust you on this. Oddly not many copies for sale over here unlike other titles I splurged on last month.

Bummer.  ... Keep an eye out for it.  Definitely worth searching for.

Good one. If that's the album with "Dear Heart," I used to listen that track obsessively, mostly because Hawes played it in a soulfully obsessive manner.

Very fine bop session. I think it was always quite hard to find. Bird also played a complete set on that date I think. It was issued on another label. The strange thing is I first had it on a Musidisc album, something called "Bird-Broadcasts"....

I've always liked Rushing Lullabies.  The You and Me We Used to Be-- the very last record he did-- is  very good.

I second medjuck's vote for Rushing Lullabies.  I'd recommend getting the CD edition of Rushing Lullabies because it's a 2-LPs-on-one-CD reissue that also includes Little Jimmy Rushing and the Big Brass. 

That said, Rushing never really made an indifferent record.  IMO, you can hardly go wrong with any of it.  The Vanguard and Colpix stuff is excellent.  That Jazz Odyssey LP above is really good.  Even Rushing's record with Dave Brubeck -- though it looks like an odd match -- works wonderfully.

A third for Rushing Lullabies. They're all great, but that one is greaterist!

Kippie Moketsi and  Hal Singer ‎– Blue Stompin' (2021 RE)

One more for the road, great vibe all along,  similar to Allen Kwela's Black Beauty (I would loooooooooove to have a copy of this LP and hopefully Matsuli will reissue it at some stage). The trumpet player is nowhere to be listed. Any lead?

Well done for owning this one at least. I'm always impressed by this stuff.
