Oh wow.  IMO, there's a ton of great stuff on that list.  I think I need to place an order!  :) 

 

Here are a few that I know well and would definitely recommend:

Muse 
*************************
5065    Bonner, Joe    The Lifesaver
5185    Lytle, Johnny    Fast Hands w/ Houston Person, Mickey Tucker, etc.
5234    Newman, David "Fathead"    Resurgence w/ Marcus Belgrave, Cedar Walton, etc.
5242    Sullivan, Ira    Ira Sullivan... Does It All w/ Red Rodney, Garry Dial, etc.
5249    Tate, Buddy    Hard Blowin' w/ Ray Bryant, George Duvivier, Alan Dawson
5362    Walrath, Jack    Wholly Trinity w/ Chip Jackson, Jimmy Madison
5380    Williams, Rod    Hanging In The Balance w/ Marty Ehrlich, etc.
5383    Hoggard, Jay    Overview w/ Geri Allen, Frederick Waits, Ed Rozie
5385    Brown, Donald    Sources Of Inspiration w/ Eddie Henderson, Gary Bartz, etc.

Landmark
*************************
1513-2    Hutcherson, Bobby    In The Vanguard
1517-2    Hutcherson, Bobby    Cruisin' The Bird  (& the other Hutcherson Landmarks as well, but IMO these two are the "picks of the litter")
1515-2    Miller, Mulgrew    Wingspan
1519-2    Miller, Mulgrew    The Countdown - with Joe Henderson

 

Don't sleep on the Jack Walrath and Donald Brown LPs.  Neither gets talked about much (at all?) -- but I would rate them both as FIVE-STAR records.  Two hidden gems from the 80s.

I don't think that any of these are hardcore "must have", but lord have mercy, if anything looks like you'd like it, cape diem. It's all of a very consistent, high quality. 

Theres a JJ record with Joe that's damn near, " must have", but I forget what label it was on.

Also on Landmark, Jimmy Heath's A Time and a Placea session from his Cobblestone early Muse days that is a total delight.

Don't sleep on Donald Brown period.  He had a superb run on Space Time (French label) after Muse.
