Strangely, apart from Mingus at Ronnie's the others are all predominately piano based. Thus we have Jamal, Evans, Hawes, Brubeck, Duke, Jarrett, Peterson and Tracey. It would take a better man than me to rate them! However, there are better men than me out there so let's hear it for your archival choices.
Ahmad Jamal: Emerald City Nights - Live At The Penthouse 1963-1964.
Ahmad Jamal: Emerald City Nights - Live At The Penthouse 1965-1966.
Bill Evans: Morning Glory - Live 1973.
Bill Evans: Inner Spirit - Live 1977.
Charles Mingus: Lost Album From Ronnie Scott's (triple disc album). Disc 1/2/3
Charles Mingus Trio w. Hampton Hawes & Danny Richmond.
Dave Brubeck: Live From Vienna 1967.
Duke Ellington - The Lost Recordings.
Keith Jarrett: Bordeaux Concert.
Oscar Peterson: On a Clear Day.
Pepper Adams w. Tommy Banks Trio: Live at the Room at the Top.
Stan Tracey: The 1959 Sessions.
Wolfgang Lackerschmid & Chet Baker - Welcome Back.
I must point out that these are discs that came via my friendly neighbourhood postman as opposed to those that mysteriously arrive through cyberspace and then disappear into some file/folder - out of sight and out of mind. Luddites of the world unite you have nothing to lose but your downloads! Lance

Some of the most exciting sounds I’ve heard are on the LP Lionel Hampton All Star Band at Newport ‘78. Pepper Adams is in the line up, which also includes Cat Anderson, Bob Wilbur and Doc Cheatham. For me though the best solo is from Arnett Cobb on tenor sax in On the Sunny Side of the Street. Marvellous.
Great tenor player. I remember him at one of the North Sea Festivals where, on crutches, he blew the other tenor players off the stage and they included Illinois Jacquet, Scott Hamilton and Budd Johnson!
