NP:

Laurindo Almeida, Bud Shank - Brazilliance, Vol. 2 (World Pacific/BN)
with Gary Peacock and Chuck Flores

I think this second volume is even more impressive than the first.  Among the reasons why: Gary Peacock.

Yep .... at that time he already implemented an original bass sound similar still clearly distinctive to Scott LaFaro ....

Joe Newman was a solid trumpet player and I enjoyed his playing here in Viena, but soon no musician here wanted to play more gigs with him, since he was an asshole on the stand, lecturing experienced local musicains how to play as if they didn´t know how to play. Strange, other very prominent artists like Woody Shaw, Art Farmer, Benny Golson etc. never lectured the musicians on bandstand and it was everything cool, to enjoy the gig on stand.....

This one again. Sound so good.

 

Buster Williams is one of my very very special favourites, period. 
Wonderful band here.

I believe that the guitarist on this record, Lee Robinson, ended up in Dallas doing studio work and playing jazz with Fred Crane, Peyton Park, Jimmy Zitano, etc 

I didn't know that. Apparently, there's a scholarship opp available that's in his name.

This one again. A brilliant fusion of jazz and classical imo.

Would love to find a cd copy of this.  Unfortunately the clip above has a few skips.  Snowden was leader of the Washingtonians before the Duke took over.  Here playing with stride pianist Cliff Jackson.
