Ann, Man! by Ann Richards, released on ATCO in 1961.
Review by Scott Yanow
...her most intimate date, a quartet set with trumpeter Jack Sheldon, guitarist Barney Kessel, bassist Red Callender, and drummer Larry Bunker....Richards shows off her versatility and sensitivity on this well-rounded set, swinging lightly and singing with restrained emotions.

The Hunt is a 1977 jazz album of performances from 1947 by a nonet featuring saxophonists Dexter Gordon and Wardell Gray. The title song is referenced in the book On the Road by Jack Kerouac.
"They ate voraciously as Dean, sandwich in hand, stood bowed and jumping before the big phonograph, listening to a wild bop record I had just bought called βThe Hunt,β with Dexter Gordon and Wardell Gray blowing their tops before a screaming audience that gave the record fantastic frenzied volume."
Jack Kerouac - On The Road Part Two Chapter 1
"To the wild sounds of Dexter Gordon and Wardell Gray blowing βThe Hunt,β Dean and I played catch with Marylou over the couch."

When I think, "Who the hell is that? It sounds like Charley Christian, but it can't be?" It's always Barney Kessel.
Music to Listen to Red Norvo By Review by Scott Yanow
Although vibraphonist Red Norvo is the leader of this sextet date, clarinetist Bill Smith (who contributed the 20-minute four-movement "Divertimento") often sets the tone for the music. His work has classical elements to it, but the five shorter pieces (by Jack Montrose, Barney Kessel, Lennie Niehaus, Duane Tatro, and Norvo) are much more jazz oriented. Norvo's light-toned sextet (which consists of his vibes, flutist Buddy Collette, clarinetist Bill Smith, guitarist Barney Kessel, bassist Red Mitchell, and drummer Shelly Manne) was not a regularly working unit, but it sounds well-integrated and tight during the complex, but generally swinging, music.
