Try the new Benny Golson Jazz'tet; new solo Martial Solal at the Village Vanguard; new one by trumpeter Vinnie Cutro, I believe; Orbert Davis and the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic; the Blue Note 7; Vince Mendoza's Blauklang; a Gary Smulyan disc arranged by Mark Masters called The Jazz Heart (Soul?) of Frankie Laine. Many new ones.

Been playing them lately on Jazz From Blue Lake around our retrospective survey of Ray Charles great instrumentalists...Fathead, tonight Hank Crawford, Friday Marcus Belgrave, who also has a new one with his friend Charlie Gabriel including a swinging version of "Bill for Bennie."

That new Benny Golson is indeed very nice. Eddie Henderson sounds great! "Verdi's Voice" is the track that I keep coming back to...
