Bunky Green - Playin' for Keeps (Cadet mono). This could have been a routine soul-jazz album with Latin touches, but it's more than the sum of its parts - very good stuff.

Red Allen Meets Kid Ory (Verve mono). This, on the other hand, is somehow less than the sum of its parts.

Jimmy McPartland/Dizzy Gillespie - Hot vs. Cool: A Battle of Jazz (MGM 10"). A hoot - McPartland's band and Ray Abrams' band (with Gillespie and Buddy DeFranco added) playing the same tunes at Birdland in 1952. So McPartland's guys have to play "How High the Moon" and the modernists have to play "Muskrat Ramble." This could have been a stupid album, but it's pretty cool.

Art Blakey 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses 1960' (Fontana, mono, 70s reissue)

I remember seeing the film in Paris on its release. Also made effective, haunting use of Monk's "Pannonica".
