Louis Cottrell Trio: Bourbon Street (Riverside/OJC)

Such a wonderful album! The first I heard it was in an under-heated room in November, in the French Quarter, in the early 1990s. It was before the CD reissue, and WWOZ played the album from a cassette copy provided by the family of McNeal Breaux, the bassist on the album. By the way, for those who don't know, Breaux was a relative of the great Wellman Braud: Breaux & Braud both being variant Creole spellings of the same French name.

Cal Tjader - Breathe Easy (Galaxy, 1978)
with Hank Jones, Monty Budwig, and Shelly Manne

Given the suggestive (porn-like? porn-y? porno-esque?) cover photo, you might reasonably expect equally suggestive wocka-wocka guitars and funky electric basses. But no. It's just a chilled-out, straight-ahead session of jazz standards. One "Hey, it's the 1970's!" aspect of the LP: Hank Jones mostly sticks to electric piano -- which isn't an issue for me, although it might be a source of frustration for others.

NP -- prompted by soulpope's Byas post above:

Don Byas - A Night in Tunisia (Black Lion)

Kind of appropriate, given the album title, that the image is somewhat skewed.  I still miss Jazzbo (aka Jazzbeaux) -- he truly was one of a kind.  The main musician of interest to me here is Bob Wilber, playing in a more modern, less swing/traditional mode than I'm used to hearing him play.

Giving Hank Jones an electric piano is like giving Hank Aaron an aluminum bat!
