They're terrific.

I went bananas for J&R this year, bought about a dozen of their albums.  And I've enjoyed every single one.  

 

Yes, I've become quite a fan. I used to think "the earlier the better" but some of their latest ones are killer!

I've come to the same conclusion.  They were remarkably consistent from beginning to end.

I keep trying to like Mal Waldron's albums. But other that his early Prestige dates, Mal leaves me cold, and that includes this one.

Enrico Pieranunzi Trio - Vol. 2 (YVP, rec. 1988)

How's this one?

It's very good.  I think Pieranunzi subsequently took his music to an even higher level (beginning in the 1990s), but Vol. 2 is still very strong.

Sonny Rollins play Walking Round in Women's Under Where, before that it was Gene Ammons roasting Mel Torme's chestnuts.

Nice, but not overwhelming. Perfect if you like natural club sound. Hamilton sounds nice, contrary to when I saw him live around the time this was recorded, when he seemed tired and uninspired.

Some years ago I met a member of this orchestra who told me that they were originally called the Shades of Kenton Orchestra, but had to abandon mention of Kenton following threat of legal action by the great man's widow. (I can't vouch for the truth of his story.)😙

Have read similar Informations in the same context with a band Mike Vax' was and still is  leading which has also to changed the bands name somewhat  but has still Kentons name as part in it --->  "The Stan Kenton Alumni Band".
