I've always been curious about that LP. Never seen a copy though.

Do they spell the lead's name wrong or is it actually Grailler?

Ellington Uptown
Les Ballets Africains De Keita Fodeba Vol. 6
Mombasa – Tathagata (enjoyed  African R&B quite a lot, this one much less at my first listen)

It is Graillier. It is a common mistake, even for French folks, to forget the second i after a double l, as it would pronounce basically the same. I remember in Junior high our French teacher challenging us to make less than 3 mistakes to a 15-word dicatation (of the type "Un chasseur qui bayait aux corneilles tira un levraut derrière un groseillier : quelle imbécillité !") and everibody failed.

Jazz from the Westchester Workshop, London Records 1957. Recent buy for a tenner. A minor masterpiece, in a birth of the cool style. Carmen Leggio, tenor. Eddie Bert, trombone, Gen Allen, baritone, the only names known to me. Vinnie Riccitelli, composer, arranger and alto. A marvellous sounding recording by ‘Unique, New York’. No details of the recording engineer on my UK issue.

Almost worth the tenner for the cover photo

Donald Byrd - Black Byrd [Blue Note, USA 1973]

Ridiculously good this

wow, would not have recognized him. Really weird. 
But I must admit I never heard him on else occasions than with Blakey. It seems that he didn´t have so much luck after leaving Blakey

If you read his Wiki entry, his downward career path was probably due to his addictions, rather than bad luck. He died at 38 from cirrhosis.
