Staying on the Watch is the debut album by jazz musician Sonny Simmons. It was released as ESP-1030 on the ESP-Disk label in 1966. The cover photograph is a mirror image displaying Simmons playing left handed against the NYC skyline.

A DownBeat reviewer called the album "a scorcher," and praised "City of David," stating: "John Hicks... pulls the music in a more John Coltrane-inspired direction... stoking a fire that makes bassist Teddy Smith and drummer Marvin Pattillo simply steam." - Wikipedia

'S Make It (slang for 'Let's go') is a recording by the hard bop Art Blakey jazz ensemble. It was recorded in Los Angeles in 1964 and issued on the Limelight label.

Jeffery S. McMillan has called the release one of Blakey's most underrated works and that it exemplifies his 1964–1965 work.[8] In a review in the December 1965 issue of Black World, the title track is described as "a diabolical concept, a dark image, invoking the innermost caverns of Manhattan.".. - Wikipedia
