Explosions is the second album by the Bob James Trio. It was recorded at Bell Sound Studios in New York City during May 1965, and was released later that year by ESP-Disk. On the album, James is featured on piano, and is joined by bassist Barre Phillips and drummer Robert Pozar. The album also features tape collages by composers Gordon Mumma and Robert Ashley. It is an early example of electro-acoustic jazz.

In a review for AllMusic, "Blue" Gene Tyranny called the album "probably the first recording of improvised jazz combined with electronic music, as well as playing inside the piano and other new music techniques," and noted that it "contains lively and often humorous compositions." - Wikipedia

Ramblin' with Mose is the sixth album to be released (but fourth recorded) by blues/jazz pianist and vocalist Mose Allison which was recorded in 1958 and released on the Prestige label.

Thom Jurek of Allmusic states, "Allison displays absolutely brilliant instrumental prowess as both an arranger and as an improviser. His unique, often unorthodox interpretations of standards and pop songs set him apart from virtually every one of his peers" - Wikipedia

Concert by the Sea is a live album by pianist Erroll Garner that was released by Columbia in 1955.

The album was recorded on September 19, 1955, in the gothic-revivalist styled assembly hall of Sunset School (now Sunset Center) in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, a welcoming space being used as part of local promoter Jimmy Lyons' "Sunset Series", this series in turn laying the groundwork for the beginnings of the Monterey Jazz Festival. From nearby Fort Ord military base servicemen were bused to join the enthusiastic and receptive audience at this Erroll Garner Trio gig. - Wikipedia

One of my long gone father's favourite records!

Ended Wednesday and welcomed Thursday after a swim with Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus a 1962 album by American jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi (credited to the Vince Guaraldi Trio). Initially intended as a jazz response to the 1959 film Black Orpheus, the album is best known for including the original composition "Cast Your Fate to the Wind", which became a surprise commercial hit and won Guaraldi a Grammy Award for Best Original Jazz Composition.

Contemporary reviews were favorable. A 1962 Billboard feature noted that Guaraldi and his trio presented the Black Orpheus themes with "sensitivity and style," and singled out "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" for its distinctiveness.

Cashbox also praised the trio's interpretation of the film score, describing the music as having "exceptional merit" and noting the trio's rhythmic vitality. - Wikipedia

Speak Low is the debut album led by pianist Walter Bishop Jr. which was recorded at Bell Sound Studios in 1961 and originally released on the Jazztime label.

Eugene Chadbourne of AllMusic stated "this is not a flashy keyboardist and also one who did not choose his debut as a leader to unveil a stack of up til then hidden original masterpieces of composition. He plays standards here, choosing either the long or short form for six different titles, some of them quite familiar" - Wikipedia

Dream Talk by Wolfgang Dauner Trio , released on CBS in 1964.

Igor91 wrote for Jazz Music Archives:

Wolfgang Dauner's first LP under his name is an interesting beginning to an extremely eclectic output of jazz and jazz fusion. He is joined by two musicians that would work with him for many years to come: drummer Fred Braceful and bassist Eberhard Weber. Listening to Dream Talk now, after hearing much of his experimental late 60's early 70's material that came afterwards, one cannot but think how tame the music sounds. A closer listen, however, reveals that Dauner was already experimenting and not doing "straight" jazz. The music is in the early, more grounded, arena of Avant-Garde jazz. All the musicians are locked in subconsciously, creating a loose feel, yet contain elements of structure and melody. ...
