As well as the Gelald Wilson Big Band, I got dug into some dusty CD's from the back shelf.
Various tracks by
Cecil Young Quartet. A Concert of Cool Jazz. (Scratchy some distortions, but the fun kicks through. Quite a fun group. Gerald Brashear plays good tenor, plays bongoes and along with the bass player Traff Herbert they indulge in some hilarious and amazing scat vocals on Who Parked The Car? (a take on Dizzy Gillespie's Oop Pop A Da)
Bob Dorough Quartet, pianist and 'cool' vocalist. I like his takes on the standard, 'It Could Happen To You', and Bird's 'Yardbird Suite'.
Big Miller, jazz/blues singer. Sometimes the material he had to work with was somewhat banal, He was at his best on out and out jazz blues, such as 'Monterey Story' with Ben Webster, and the swinging but unlikely titled 'If You Don't Love Me'.
