Cal Collins - Cal Collins In San Francisco (CJ-71)
Prepare to fall in love with one of jazz's most under-celebrated guitarists! Recorded in 1978 for Concord Jazz, this wonderful trio set captures Cal Collins in relaxed, inspired form alongside bassist Monty Budwig and drummer Jeff Hamilton. Collins was a self-taught guitarist who learned his art on the streets and farms of Indiana before becoming Benny Goodman's guitarist in 1976, and his straight-ahead bop playing with deep swing-era roots is an absolute delight. Highlights include Miles Davis's Blue Haze, Miles' Theme, Sometimes I'm Happy, and a lovely reading of So What. Effortlessly swinging, deeply musical, and hugely enjoyable.

Ray Brown, Jimmy Rowles - As Good As It Gets (CJ-66)
The title says it all! This 1978 Concord Jazz gem pairs two of the most gifted musicians in jazz — bassist Ray Brown and pianist Jimmy Rowles — in a beautifully intimate duo setting recorded at Coast Recorders in San Francisco. With no drums or other instruments to crowd the picture, every note rings out with exceptional clarity and emotional depth. The programme is a dream — Sophisticated Lady, Alone Together, Manha De Carnaval, and Who Cares among them — and the interplay between Brown's magnificent bass lines and Rowles' sophisticated, lyrical piano is nothing short of magical. A truly essential Concord Jazz recording.

Ross Tompkins - Ross Tompkins And Good Friends (CJ-65)
What a warm, swinging gem from Concord Jazz! Recorded in Hollywood in 1978, this cool jazz delight teams versatile pianist Ross Tompkins — best known to many as a stalwart of The Tonight Show Band — with the tremendously expressive tenor saxophone of Al Cohn, plus a superb rhythm section of bassist Monty Budwig and drummer Nick Ceroli. Produced by Concord's Carl Jefferson, the record has an easy, conversational quality that makes it feel like eavesdropping on four friends making music purely for the joy of it. Tracks including Blue Lou and Lover Man are handled with elegant warmth and swinging finesse.

Erroll Garner - Gone-Garner-Gonest (COL CL 617)
What a title — and what an album! Released on Columbia Records in 1955, Gone-Garner-Gonest is Erroll Garner in full, glorious flight, delivering a magnificent set of standards including I Can't Get Started, Yesterdays, Lullaby In Rhythm, and Bewitched. His unclassifiable piano style — simultaneously rooted in swing and open to modern jazz — is utterly compelling throughout. Garner had the remarkable ability to record three albums in a single day, all in colourful first takes, and the spontaneous energy and invention that characterises this album makes it feel like a live, in-the-moment experience every time the needle drops.

Erroll Garner - Campus Concert (SE4361)
Bittersweet and absolutely beautiful, Campus Concert holds the distinction of being the final live album Erroll Garner released during his lifetime! Released on MGM Records in 1966 and recorded in 1962, it features the pianist in wonderful form, accompanied by his classic trio and performing for an enthusiastic audience of mostly young fans. Eight jazz standards plus one original make up a programme delivered with Garner's trademark combination of swing-era grandeur and bebop awareness. His ability to sit at the piano and play magnificently without ever reading a note of music was a genuine marvel — and this record proves it gloriously.

Erroll Garner - Garnering (MG 36026)
One of the earliest and most delightful Erroll Garner albums to collect, Garnering was released on EmArcy Records in 1955, drawing on studio sessions recorded in New York in 1949 and 1950. Accompanied by bassist John Simmons and drummer Harold 'Doc' West, Garner treats a varied programme — including Deep Purple, Lazy River, Jitterbug Waltz, and the playfully mischievous Scatterbrain — to his signature orchestral, swing-drenched piano style. Every track is freshly minted and completely alive, a testament to the fact that Garner, as one admirer famously noted, never recorded an uninspired solo in his entire career.

Erroll Garner - Play It Again, Erroll! (PG 33424)
This glorious 1975 Columbia double-album gatefold is a wonderful opportunity to revel in the irresistible genius of Erroll Garner! Compiled from his Columbia recordings, it showcases the pianist's utterly distinctive style — left hand striding like a rhythm guitarist, right hand floating melodically behind the beat in his unmistakable way — across a generous programme of jazz standards and originals. Nobody sounded quite like Erroll, and nobody ever will. His playful invention, exuberant swing, and sheer delight in music leap off the vinyl with every single track. A brilliant introduction and a warm reminder of an incomparable talent.

With Emil Richards on vibes, the incomparable Toots Thielemans on guitar, Al McKibbon on bass, Percy Brice on drums, and Armando Peraza adding sizzling congas, the group delivers a masterclass in tight, vibrant jazz. From bop classics like Confirmation and Joy Spring to the irresistible Latin bounce of Drume Negrita and Mambo Inn, this is sophisticated, swinging jazz at its most electrifying.

James Moody And His Swedish Crowns - James Moody 1949 (DRLP 95)
Sweden was very good to James Moody, and this superb 1986 compilation on Dragon Records proves it!

Highlights include Out Of Nowhere, These Foolish Things, Body And Soul, and the cheeky 'I'm In The Mood For Bop.' It's a joyful, historically important document of one of the earliest and most successful American-Scandinavian jazz partnerships.

Count Basie, Zoot Sims - Basie and Zoot (2310 745)
Pure joy on vinyl! Recorded at RCA Studios in New York on 9 April 1975 and released the following year on Norman Granz's Pablo Records, this intimate small-group session strips away the big band trappings and lets the Count breathe freely alongside the gloriously warm tenor saxophone of Zoot Sims. Granz wisely kept the lineup lean, and the result is a beautifully relaxed collection of standards and original compositions brimming with natural chemistry. Five jazz standards sit alongside three original pieces, all delivered with the effortless elegance that only these two masters could conjure.
