Grant Green 'Solid' (Music Matters 2x45rpm). They did a great job with this one - both sound-wise and the superlative cover/photos. Some good notes by Michael Cuscuna on the back from the 'Rainbow Series' issue.

Something New, Something Blue (Columbia 6-eye stereo). Someone mentioned this one recently; that made me want to hear it again. For those not familiar with the album, four composers (Manny Albam, Teddy Charles, Bill Russo, and Teo Macero) were asked to write one new blues-based piece and arrange one older blues; the charts were played by two all-star bands in 1959. I'm enjoying it a bunch.

After Lee & Warne, a buncha blues:

Eddie Shaw - King of the Road (Rooster Blues)

Clayton Love - Come on Home Blues (Red Lightnin' 10")

Delta Blues Festival '79 (Delta Arts Project)

The last one is from a Greenville, Mississippi blues fest, and includes some great music by Napoleon Strickland, Boyd Rivers, Big Joe Williams, Johnny Shines, Sam Myers, and more.

I remember that a friend of mine who does a blues radio show used to play a couple of tunes from that Clayton Love on the air.

Chico Hamilton and the Players (Blue Note). A pretty good, not great, 1976 album. Arthur Blythe and Rodney Jones are the main soloists. And Steve Turre is a pretty damn good bass player.

After Chico:

Chick Corea/Miroslav Vitous/Roy Haynes - Trio Music (ECM). Disc 2 - the Monk stuff.

Mighty Sparrow - Calypso Carnival (Id). Nice soca/calypso from a 1968 Trinidadian album.
