Taft Jordan Plays Duke Ellington: Mood Indigo!!! (Prestige/Moodsville/Status mono). Just finished spinning a wonderful album I was not even aware of until a couple of hours ago, when I found it in an Atlanta record store. Jordan plays Ellington with Kenny Burrell, Richard Wyands, Joe Benjamin, and Charlie Persip - very nice. My copy is a typical Prestige hybrid - Status labels and a Moodsville cover.

The CD version (heresy here on the vinyl thread?) adds a second recording - The Swingville All-Stars - with Taft Jordan, Hilton Jefferson, Al Sears, Don Abney, Wendell Marshall, and Gus Johnson - a nice addition. I remember that Joe hipped me to this, perhaps back on the old BN Board, when I was looking to hear more Hilton Jefferson.

This looks up my alley as well. I'll have to look into a copy - CD or otherwise.

[king ubu]

Yep, that CD twofer is fine!

[Chuck Nessa]

I was about to mention it as well.

Willis Jackson - Grease 'n' Gravy (Prestige silver label stereo). It took me about halfway through side one to realize who guitarist Pat Azzara was.

Picked my CD up for a couple of bucks at that mega-brilliant Fantasy sale a few years ago, thanks to our Mr Weizen

George Russell 'At Beethoven Hall Guest Artist-Don Cherry' (Saba, stereo)

Yet another reminder how useful the Inner City family of labels was in the 1970s.

Couldn't see the image you posted. Did a search & came up with this:

If that's it, some very good Pres there.

'The London Jazz Four Takes A New Look On The Beatles' (UK Polydor, stereo)

Traditional Folksongs & Dances of Greek (Lyra mono). I found this sealed album, apparently from the 1960's, today, and feel like I won the lottery, in a small way. This could have been a tacky "tourist" record, but it's beautiful - the real deal. Among the twelve tracks, there are a couple of excellent vocals by Irene Konitopoulos, but the real gems are the three tracks by the great Greek clarinetist Tassos Chalkias. I love the clarinet tradition of the northeast Mediterranean - Greece, Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, etc., and these tracks are primo examples of that tradition.
