Bobbi Humphrey - Flute-In (Blue Note). This album is kind of a guilty pleasure of mine - it's got versions of Bill Withers and Carole King songs. But it's also got some good late Lee Morgan and a couple of killer Billy Harper solos.

Archie Shepp - On This Night - (Impulse orange/black mono)

Have a HMV mono of that one.

Sold my HMV mono and got the cd. Hutcherson's breathtaking here imo. Possibly my introduction to him.

Johnny Hodges - Rippin' & Runnin' (Verve). The master with a hip young (1968) rhythm section - Willie Gardner (organ), Jimmy Ponder, Ron Carter, and Freddie Waits. Really nice. Anybody know anything about Gardner?

Billy Gardner?

Recorded on all 3 of George Braith's Blue Note albums. I believe there's been some discussion of him on the board which 'search' under 'Billy Gardner' should throw up.

The sleeve definitely says "Willie," but I'll bet it's the same guy. His playing is too good to be someone who just made this one album. I'm at work right now, but I remember that the liner notes said that Willie Gardner played some with Lou Donaldson, so it's probably Billy.

Definitely Billy Gardner. The personnel listing has Willie Gardner, but Leonard Feather's liner notes refer to him as Willie (Billy) Gardner.

The Olympia Brass Band of New Orleans (Audiophile). I hesitated before adding this 1971 album to the stack during my vinyl buying binge yesterday - do I really need another N.O. brass band album, particularly another Olympia record? But I'm really glad I pulled the trigger on this one - it's beautifully played, recorded and pressed. Vinyl lovers looking for a good traditional New Orleans brass band record should keep their eyes open for this.
