Mose Allison once said that he thought of his piano playing as jazz and his singing as blues.  Since his notoriety came from singing, it's easy to overlook Allison's jazz piano playing.  (I know I did for a long time.)  But his pianism is just as interesting and distinctive as his singing.  For example, check out "Devil in the Cane Field" with Addison Farmer (b) and Ronnie Free (d) in 1959:

A gorgeous rendition of the Nola classic "Just a Closer Walk with Thee":

Along with Davenport, check out the amazing playing by clarinetist Herb Hall.  :tup

Always love to hear Bud playing Round Midnight, mostly at Birdland on the CBS recordings "One Night at Birdland" and "Summit Meeting at Birdland", 

And a fantastic trio version is on the ESP record "At Blue Note Café" in Paris. 
And one of the most moving performances is I think on a Danish video, fantastic version, and Bud seems to flirt with a young girl in the audience while playing it....

"So Nice" from above CD ... this Blue Note disc is a compilation of 2x10" records from '53 (trio) and '54 (quintet with Frank Foster and Freeman Lee), PLUS 3 additional tracks recorded by Pacific Jazz in LA 1957, with Harold Land, Stu Williamson, Leroy Vinnegar and Frank Butler.      "So Nice" comes from this group of 3 tracks, all of which are superb and feature fine compositions and arrangements (Elmo's) and swinging, imaginative solos of the highest order. Elmo has it all together, Land was at a peak at this time, and this may be the best Williamson on record ... plus Leroy and Frank Butler!  Pity they didn't record more ...

Orville Peck & Margo Price: You're An Asshole, I Can't Stand You (And I Want A Divorce)

I had to listen to it with a title like that. Absolutely brilliant!
