A Rift in Decorum: Live at the Village Vanguard is a live double album by American jazz trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire. The album was released on June 9, 2017 by Blue Note.

Frank Alkyer of DownBeat wrote: "It's music that sneaks into your soul because whether fiery or quiet, nothing is ever rushed by these musicians; everything is thought out and purposeful... That depth of self-reflection makes Akinmusire an amazingly effective composer—one who should be heard, studied and enjoyed." - Wikipedia

High Blues Pressure is an album by trumpeter Freddie Hubbard. It was his second release on the Atlantic label and features performances by Hubbard, James Spaulding, Bennie Maupin, Herbie Lewis, Roman "Dog" Broadus, Weldon Irvine, Kenny Barron, Freddie Waits, Louis Hayes, Howard Johnson, and Kiane Zawadi.

High Blues Pressure Review by Scott Yanow

For this studio album, Freddie Hubbard expanded his quintet by adding tenor-saxophonist Bennie Maupin, Kiane Zawadi on euphonium and the tuba of Howard Johnson. The music is complex but swinging with fine solos from the trumpeter/leader, altoist James Spaulding, Maupin and pianist Kenny Barron.

Swing Low, Sweet Cadillac is a live album by American jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie featuring performances recorded in 1967 for the Impulse! label.

The highlight for me is the side-long performance of Kush.

Live at the Village Vanguard is a live album by American jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie recorded on October 1, 1967, at the Village Vanguard and released on Solid State later that year.

The AllMusic review stated "These lengthy performances (all but one of the seven songs are over 11 minutes) contain some loose and rambling moments but also plenty of creative playing by this unusual group of all-stars" - Wikipedia

Love Dance is the fourth album led by trumpeter Woody Shaw which was recorded in 1975 and released on the Muse label.

Jonathan Guarriello wrote on AllMusic:

This is a fantastic album by trumpeter Woody Shaw that's unfortunately out of print for reasons I don't understand because it's one of my favorite Shaw albums. The title track "Love Dance" by pianist Joe Bonner makes it worth seeking this hard to find album out. The music on here I think falls under "fusion" but it's more like Freddie Hubbard's masterpiece Red Clay than Miles Bitches Brew. I highly recommend finding any of Woody's Muse albums.
