Agreed. If I were to choose just one Pharoah CD for my desert island, it would be that two-fer.

Duke Ellington - The Private Collection: Volume Seven, Studio Sessions, 1957 & 1962 (Atlantic/Saja)
Tons of great soloing from Paul Gonsalves here -- as well as on many of the other "Private Collection" volumes.

George Wallington – Live! At Café Bohemia (Prestige Records — OJC Limited Edition Series / Progressive Records)
— Donald Byrd (trumpet), Jackie McLean (alto sax), George Wallington (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), Art Taylor (drums); includes alternate take

   

Released in 1955 on the Progressive Records label and reissued in 1970 by Prestige.  This was the first major recording by Byrd and McLean.
 

 Solid bop.

Spent yesterday taking the system apart and moving it so that it was ready for a new living room rug which arrived at five, and then I spent the evening putting the system back together.

Finally everything is warmed up again and playing and boy was the music missed!

Now

Horace Parlan, Hi-Fly (Steeplechase)

[HutchFan]

Henri Texier - A Cordes et à Cris (Disques JMS)
Mostly Texier solo with occasional contributions from Gordon Beck, Aldo Romano, Didier Lockwood & Jean-Charles Capon

[alankin]

Stan Getz / Bob Brookmeyer – Recorded Fall 1961 (Verve—Polydor Japan POCJ-2724)
— Bob Brookmeyer - valve trombone; Stan Getz - tenor saxophone; Steve Kuhn - piano; John Neves - double bass; Roy Haynes - drums

Another Pharoah Sanders platter from the "golden era" ....

More Texier:

Henri Texier - Varech (Disques JMS)
Through over-dubbing, Texier plays ALL of the instruments on this LP: double bass, electric bass, oud, flute, bombarde, and percussion. This music very much anticipates Texier's later, "world music"-influenced recordings for Label Bleu.

James P. Johnson - Giants of Jazz (Time Life)
A few years ago, I digitized the music in this 3-LP set so I could listen at work & in the car.

I'd love to upgrade to the Mosaic set at some point.
