I’ve never properly worked out the discography of that line-up. Do you know of a simple list?

Picked up the following LPs at estate sales:

Bird with the Herd - 1951

Herb Alpert Presents Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66

Look Around - Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66

Nancy Wilson - A Touch of Today and Easy.  These are not considered great albums so I may part with them

Except Bird & The Herd, right? That is a great album.

I'd recommend not jumping to too hasty of a conclusion on the Nancy wilson records. some of them sound better to me as they years go by than they did at first listen.

The thing about them is that even when they're mostly standards, and have big-band backing, very few of them are really "jazz" records, they're more "jazzy-pop". Once I adjusted my perspective accordingly, I started enjoying them more.

No matter, if you ever come across a copy of TLC, carpe diem. That one is a real gem, period!

Buster Williams and Shelley Manne!

That's such a soulful song, no matter who does it.

I listened to A Touch of Today this morning. It’s a record of pop covers, or jazzy pop as you put it. Nothing flashy but her voice makes the record. I’d hesitate to label it as easy listening. After all, it is Nancy Wilson!
