Paul Desmond, Pure Desmond, 1975 on CTI Records

Desmond (who composed Take Five and was a critical part of the Dave Brubeck Quartet) playing here with Ron Carter, Ed Bickert, and Connie Kay – recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in 1974 and produced by Creed Taylor.

One of five albums Desmond put out on CTI in the late 60s and 70s. including Summertime and Skylark (with Gabor Szabo). It’s very fusion, and features Ed Bickert on guitar as much as (or more so than) Desmond.

My copy, via Crossroads Records in Portland OR, is a 1975 issue with Van Gelder in the runouts.

Ended Tuesday and welcomed Wednesday with Live at the Lighthouse is a live album by American jazz group the Modern Jazz Quartet recorded by Wally Heider at the Lighthouse Café in 1967 and released on the Atlantic label.

The Allmusic review stated "This fairly obscure LP by the Modern Jazz Quartet, features fresh material and improvisations that are both swinging and creative" - Wikipedia

Know What I Mean? is a 1962 jazz album by alto saxophonist Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, accompanied by Bill Evans and the rhythm section of the Modern Jazz Quartet.

Adderley and Evans had recorded previously both with the Miles Davis Sextet—most notably on Kind of Blue—and on two of Adderley's earlier recordings as a leader, Portrait of Cannonball and Jump for Joy. Adderley had previously recorded several times with bassist Percy Heath but not with drummer Connie Kay.[2] Evans had recorded previously with both rhythm players several times, including on John Lewis's film soundtrack for Odds Against Tomorrow.

The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars out of 4, stating: "The quartet date with Bill Evans was one of the last chances to hear [Adderley] as sole horn, and he sounds fine." - Wikipedia
