Just "Round about Midnight" I was listening to this fine gathering around Jackie McLean. 

All of them are "Bird Songs" and what really knocked me out was "Shaw Nuff" with that dialog between Griffin and McLean. Cecil Payne is also very fine on his solos in that set. 
At one point, he´s even quoting from his own composition "Ninnie Melina". 
The ballad "Don´t Blame Me" done by Duke Jordan is also very very nice. He was always an enigma to me. Somehow, like Tadd Dameron he didn´t have the most dangerous tehnique but has a very individual style, evidently with no influences from other players. 
His trademark remain his intro´s to some of Bird´s tunes on the original recordings, they became standard intros. 

Ron Carter has some exceptional solos here. But he plays completly else than his usual style. Much more traditional boppish with a more old fashioned sound than his usual bass sound. 

Maybe the only thing that keeps me from listening very often to records like this is, that all tunes are straight walking swing, there is not much variation, no latin for example. It´s just very straight 4/4, some a bit faster, some a bit slower......

“Classic Don Byas Sessions 1944-1946” Mosaic Records, disc 2

Yet another excellent Mosaic box set. Byas deserves this deluxe treatment and there is a great trove of previously unreleased material here.

I have to thank @HutchFan. 

On this thread he had posted those two, some months ago and when I asked him about it he stated "it´s exactly what YOU will like". 

And damn right he is. 

That´s the kind of music I listen to with most pleasure and exitement.

Hey, that's terrific, Gheorghe!  So glad you're enjoying those Freddie Hubbard albums!
