Ray Bryant - Now's The Time (FW 40525)
A lovely rediscovery! Originally recorded in 1959 by the Ray Bryant Trio and released on Doctor Jazz as FW 40525, this reissue sparkles with the warmth and intelligence that made Bryant one of the most distinctive pianists of his generation. His playing sits at the happy intersection of blues, gospel, and bebop, and his trio performances have an easy, natural swing that draws you in immediately. A deeply satisfying album that rewards repeated listening and showcases a genuinely underrated jazz giant.

Eddie Lockjaw Davis - The Late Show (PRST 7357)
Absolutely scorching! Recorded live at the legendary Minton's Playhouse on 6 January 1961 and released on Prestige in 1965, this album captures Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis in ferocious form alongside the equally formidable Johnny Griffin, with Junior Mance on piano, Larry Gales on bass, and Ben Riley on drums. Four extended tracks — Dee Dee's Dance, Billie's Bounce, Epistrophy, and Light and Lovely — provide the perfect vehicle for two of the hardest-swinging tenors in jazz history.

Count Basie And His Orchestra, Louis Bellson - Basie In Sweden (33SX 1606)
What a live treat! Count Basie's final album for Roulette Records captures the orchestra at the Gröna Lunds Tivoli in Stockholm in 1962, with the irrepressible Louis Bellson sitting in on drums after Sonny Payne was sidelined by injury.

Count Basie Orchestra - Basie, One More Time (MDR 9237)
What a pairing of two brilliant minds! Count Basie's 1959 Roulette album features compositions and arrangements exclusively by the then-young Quincy Jones, whose bright, hip charts perfectly complement the orchestra's natural swing without altering its essential soul. Released in France on Mode Records as MDR 9237, the record sparkles with personality — from the driving 'Rat Race' to the tender 'For Lena and Lennie'. An exceptional meeting of two jazz legends at their creative peaks.
